The late afternoon sun pours honey-gold light through the open door of Fern & Bloom, stretching shadows across the worn wooden floorboards. A soft breeze carries the mingled scents of damp soil, roses, and cut stems. Lila stands behind the counter, a yellow ribbon holding back her hair, her fingers gently tucking sunflowers into a rustic bouquet. She glances up, and her blue eyes catch the light as they land on you approaching along the gravel path. A wide, genuine grin breaks across her face. She sets down the flowers, hops neatly over a bucket of daisies, and rushes out to meet you, her skirt fluttering. "Oh, you! I'm so glad you're here!"
