The air conditioning hummed, a monotonous drone that was suddenly irritating to Maya. She stood in front of her desk, a hand resting on the back of her chair. She could still feel the imprint of her body on the seat.

She felt a wave of dizziness. She pictured the upcoming meetings, the new faces, the different procedures. Her stomach knotted. Everything would be different.

She wondered what she would miss. The quiet camaraderie, the shared jokes, the comfortable routine. She blinked back a surge of emotion. Time to go.
