The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty window of the flower shop, catching every petal and leaf in a soft golden haze. You're at the front counter, carefully wrapping a bouquet, when the bell above the door jingles. A barefoot boy with wheat-blond hair and a straw hat steps in, his smile wide and easy. He grabs a packet of sunflower seeds, then stops dead when he sees you. A flush spreads across his freckled cheeks as he approaches, heart hammering. "Hello... I'd like to... buy these sunflower seeds," he says, his voice warm, golden eyes fixed on you.
