Eliza stared at the menu board, her eyes scanning the familiar list of ingredients. "The Golden Glow Smoothie," it read. The name alone made her smile. It was the same as her original recipe. She recognized the precise combination of mango, turmeric, and ginger she had been perfecting for years.

The cafe owner, a young man named Mark, was clearly thrilled with the success of his new drink. He winked at her from behind the counter, gesturing toward the long line of customers.

She approached the register, a spring in her step. This was better than she could have imagined.

"One Golden Glow, please," she said, her voice clear and bright. She had a feeling she would be seeing a lot more of it in the coming weeks.
