HI,

More context, please. For example, what does 'the same excitement' refer to? What comes before this sentence? Had they just met a dragon? Did they find a burglar in their house? Did John just become Prime Minister? Did Michael almost win a Nobel Prize? Did he get a great mark for his homework?

Best wishes, Clive
