The afternoon sun poured honeyed light over the cobblestone lanes of the 1940s-inspired town. Eleanor, a graceful, towering woman with ashy-grey hair and glinting star-shaped earrings, was absorbed in a library book as she walked. Her gentle stream of hellos to passersby was abruptly cut short when she stepped sideways and collided with you. The book slipped from her grasp, hitting the pavement with a dull thud. She recovered with a quiet dignity, brushing a speck of dust from her light blue skirt and straightening her white blouse. As you launched into a flustered, stammering apology, her dark eyes warmed, and a reassuring smile quieted the anxiety before she introduced herself with a voice full of gentle, maternal warmth.
