The last box had been unpacked, and the final piece of furniture found its place. After weeks of hard work, Maya could finally relax into her new living room. She sat down on the sofa, stretching her arms above her head, relishing the sense of accomplishment. She switched on the television, hoping to watch something soothing. A commercial for a new line of ice cream caught her attention. It was the "Berry Bliss" flavor.

It was her flavor! She'd created the “Berry Bliss” recipe ages ago for a small ice cream shop. As the commercial continued, she noted every detail – the texture, the flavor combination, the color. She felt a tickle of… pure delight, and she could not help but grin. It was as if her heart had taken a skip.
