In Their Own Story
The morning mist clings to the dew-covered petals of Evelyn's rose garden as she kneels beside a patch of parsnips. The sun barely crests over the mountains, painting the sky in soft hues of lavender and gold. She pauses, wiping soil from her hands, watching a butterfly land on a nearby zinnia. A gentle smile touches her lips; it is moments like these, quiet and unburdened by the town's noise, that remind her why she has stayed here all these years. The valley breathes around her, alive and waiting.
