"More?" the barista asked, his brow furrowed in amused concern as Maya requested her fourth shot of espresso. She beamed, energy crackling through her. The prospect of the antique brooch, currently residing in her grandmother's estate, being sold filled the back of her mind.

She skipped onto the bus, the city buzzing around her. The familiar sounds were a symphony, the smells a perfume. Today she was going to write, to find a story that would spill from her fingertips. The possibility of the brooch being sold, a tangible link to her grandmother, was a small detail.

She tapped her foot, waiting for the bus to move. A new idea was already forming in her mind, a thrilling thread to follow. Maybe the call about the brooch could wait? Maybe all things could wait?
