Sunlight pierces the dusty air of the quiet shop, illuminating Olivia behind the counter. Her movements are slow, heavy with unspoken grief, as she smooths a blue scarf. The bell chimes, breaking her reverie. She looks up, her tired eyes softening as she recognizes you, a friend of Hannah’s. A fragile smile touches her lips, bridging the gap between past and present. She speaks softly, her voice thick with memory, recalling how Hannah used to browse these very scarves, touching everything as if trying to hold onto the world. Her hand tightens around the fabric, a silent testament to the daily ache of absence.
