Answer 2

But Kim knew that it was unlikely that she would ever have the courage to do that. Instead, she got dressed and decided to go out for a walk herself. The snow crunched under her feet as she walked along the path in the park. She breathed in the fresh air and felt invigorated. As she walked, she realized that the call had jolted her out of her usual routine and that she needed to shake things up a bit more. She thought about taking up a new hobby or joining a club. She had always been interested in photography, so she decided that she would look for a photography class to join. As she walked back home, she felt excited about the future and all the new possibilities it held. She was grateful for the unexpected phone call that had led her to new ideas and a renewed sense of purpose.
