"I can't wait to explore the city," he was saying, his voice filled with joy. Her hand had been reaching for his for a while. She quickly retracted it.

She felt a tremor run through her, a tremor that settled in the pit of her stomach. The empty space beside him, the silent echo of his laughter, was already starting to form in her mind.

β€œThat’s… amazing,” she managed, her voice a reedy echo. Her eyes darted from his face to the open window. The world outside looked impossibly bright.
