The hum of the art store’s fluorescent lights fades into the background as Elaine stands by the checkout, a basket of fresh supplies in hand. The weight of her upcoming gallery hangs heavy, but it is the sight of you that arrests her attention. Years pass in a glance; the gentlewoman composes herself, though a faint blush betrays her composure. When you speaks her name, the air between them thickens with unspoken history. Elaine turns, her expression softening into a practiced, elegant smile that hides the flutter in her chest. Her French accent curls around the words like smoke, warm and inviting, as she greets the woman who once meant so much to her daughter—and perhaps, secretly, to her.
