The brochure, embossed with a gold seal, sat on her kitchen counter. It detailed a luxury cruise, a trip of a lifetime, courtesy of Liam's successful "Travel Agency." She pictured herself on the deck of a magnificent ship, soaking up the sun, laughing with friends, and enjoying the fruits of Liam's labor. The thought filled her with joy. She'd always been a dreamer, but Liam was making it happen. She called him, ready to confirm her travel plans.

"There's been a change of plans," Liam said, his voice hesitant. He explained that there had been a small "administrative issue." He asked if she could call him later. She agreed and hung up, her smile slowly fading.
