"No way," Maya breathed, her voice barely a whisper. Her jaw slackened as she scrolled through the map, confirming the address. The same city! After all this time, all the late-night talks, the virtual movie nights, and the shared dreams of opening a bakery… Alex, her online best friend, was practically next door.

A goofy smile stretched across her face. She felt a lightness, an almost weightless feeling. She immediately grabbed her phone and texted him, composing and deleting messages with frantic energy. The thought of finally sharing a real-life cinnamon roll with him, the one they had discussed countless times, filled her with a thrilling anticipation.
