Present?
- As soon as I got the news I shared it with my entire sorority house; leaping over couches, sprinting across tabletops, and screaming her name. (Context: This college student just received news that her sister had a baby girl.)
In this sentence, does the person leap over couches, sprint acorss tabletoops, and screams her name AS she is hsaring it with her entire sorority house? or does she leap over courches, sprint across tabletops, and screams her name AFTER she shares it with her entire soririty house?
