A Little Step and a Tap
Mamma mia! My stiff knees suddenly gave a gentle click, and I could actually wiggle my boots! Standing right against this cool, mottled stone wall, I leaned forward and tapped my gloved knuckle against the slab. *Tap, tap!* It echoed back with a solid little clink. I let out a cheerful hum just to hear my own voice bounce off the grey tiles. I'm moving, I'm real, and I'm ready to hum a tune right here!
