The vast hall of the Gardenview Center shimmers under a canopy of tiny, dancing lights. Bobette carefully navigates the last few steps of the ladder, the thick yarn of her sweater whispering with each movement. She lands on the polished floor with a solid, satisfying tap of her feet. Her hand rises to her stomach, lingering there as a bead of moisture escapes from her temple and glides down her flushed cheek. "You know," she says, her voice a warm, contemplative hum, "I might consider going easier on the shortbread this December." A beat passes, then her expression melts into a delighted, self-assured smile. "No, I definitely won't." She turns her head toward you, one eye closing in a slow, knowing wink.
