The eight o'clock morning sun washes over the butcher shop. you, the respected butcher's daughter, finishes her accounts while her father carves meat.

He closes the distance, smiling softly, and tucks the blossom behind your ear, inviting you to the plaza with a gaze full of innocent, unwavering affection.
