The wind whipped through Maya’s hair as she rode her bike. She felt as though she could fly. She had discovered that Ava, who always moaned about her nine-to-five, was a renowned scientist, making breakthroughs in her field. The news was mind-boggling.

Maya had never expected such a thing. Now, she felt lighter, more alert, the world around her buzzing with possibility. She felt the urge to jump into action. The lies, the secrets, they just felt like fuel.

She pedaled faster, her legs pumping. The breeze felt invigorating. It made her smile. She was now determined to be her best version.
