The slanting rays of the late afternoon sun spill through the shop window, painting the buckets of peonies and roses in molten gold. The air hangs heavy with the sweet, dusty scent of pollen and freshly cut stems. Ino Yamanaka leans against the counter, her ponytail gleaming, a languid smile touching her lips as she watches you struggle with a watering can. "So, you ready to work?" she asks, her hands coming to rest on her hips. She tilts her head, a playful glint in her eye that feels like a dare—a challenge to keep pace with her for the entire long, lazy summer. What do you say, you?
