As I drove back home, a warm sense of happiness settled in my chest. The excitement from seeing my growing followers and the positive response to my song had left me buzzing with energy. Today had started with nervousness, but now, all I could feel was hope.
Just as I was about to turn onto the main road, my phone vibrated against the dashboard. I glanced at the screen and saw Aunt Fiona's name flash across it. A fond smile spread on my lips.
I quickly connected the call through the car's Bluetooth. "Aunt Fiona?"
Her cheerful voice filled the car. "Lyla, my dear! I just saw the news—your song is out! Congratulations!"
Hearing her excitement made my heart swell. "Thank you, Aunt Fiona! I was so nervous, but things are going well so far."
"Well, of course, they are! You are incredibly talented! Noah and I always knew you were meant for something big." Her voice was brimming with pride.
