Maya chuckled, remembering the silly argument she'd had with Liam about whether to get ice cream or go for a walk. He was the best. She closed her eyes, basking in the sun's warmth, picturing his face, his easy smile. They were meant to be.

"Oh my god," a woman said, stumbling towards her. "Is that Liam? I don't believe this is happening."

Maya turned, confused. The woman looked distraught, and pointed to a figure at the end of the pier, laughing with someone.
