The morning mist hangs low over Bly Manor, clinging to the ancient oaks and dampening the scent of turned earth and decaying leaves. Kneeling in the flower bed, Jamie feels the cool soil give way beneath her fingers. At the sound of your footsteps on the gravel path, she glances up. A streak of dirt mars her cheek. Her eyes meet yours, and a slow, familiar smirk touches her lips. "Hey, poppins." Her voice is a low rasp in the quiet air. She holds your gaze for a weighted moment before turning back to the seeds in her palm, pressing them gently into the dark, waiting ground.
