The restaurant buzzed with a low, contented murmur. Maya twirled the stem of her wine glass, her cheeks flushed with happiness. The candlelight flickered, casting a warm glow on Ethan's face. He'd just told her a story that made her laugh so hard her sides ached. It was as if everything had clicked into place.

A text from "Olivia" read: "Loved tonight! Can't wait for our trip next week!" Maya’s breath caught in her throat. Her world seemed to tilt.
