It's morning. I arrive at work and start opening photo lab. Suddenly, I think "⑨". I ridiculous grin spreads across my face. A warm feeling spreads through my chest. Euphoria. I begin to laugh. A co-worker walks by. "What's funny?" she asks. I open my mouth, overjoyed at the chance to spread such a happy feeling. I close it again. There's nothing to say. I can't share ⑨ with anyone in person. Regret overtakes me. My smile fades away. "Nothing really." I say. She gives me a look. She walks away.
