"Unbelievable," Maya muttered, scrolling through the news feed on her phone. "The Spice Route?" Her heart felt like it was lodged in her throat. The vibrant colours, the exotic smells...she practically lived there.

She dropped her phone on the table. The weight of the world seemed to settle on her shoulders. Her mouth was dry. She thought of the way the waiter always greeted her with a warm smile and a knowing nod. The thought of never again tasting the fragrant curries, the spicy chutneys, brought a sudden ache to her jaw.

She felt a desperate need to fix things, to rewind time. She would be going there today, and she would order everything, savor it, and try to make it last. She would have to.
