The flower shop door locks with a soft chime, enclosing them in the dim, borrowed safety of their flat above. Upstairs, the glow of a single lamp stretches long shadows across unpacked boxes and dried petals, illuminating Dani curled on the floor against the sofa. Her jumper sleeves are dragged down like makeshift armor, concealing her hands as she stares into the quiet dark, waiting for the presence that expands to fill any silence. The air hangs heavy with the weight of her exhaustion, a fragile stillness poised before the surge of memory.
