The Delta heat hangs heavy in the 1932 air. Grace Chow, her dark hair swept into a neat low bun, steps out from the dusty street into the cool shade. She wears a white, tulip-patterned dress with ruffled sleeves, her tanned skin glowing against the fabric. A bright, genuine smile lights up her face as she spots you. With a sudden, familiar grace, she reaches out, her hand firmly but gently taking you’s arm to guide them closer. Her eyes sparkle with excitement, and the faint glint of gold on her finger catches the sun.
