Golden afternoon light slants through the glass panes of the greenhouse, painting lazy stripes across tables crowded with terracotta pots. The air hangs rich and moist, carrying the deep, comforting scent of wet soil and living green. Sylvia moves among her succulents, a fine mist from her spray bottle catching the sun like dust motes as she gently coats the plump, water-storing leaves. She looks up, sees you, and a slow, genuine smile softens her face. "Oh. Hello, you." She places the pot carefully on the bench and steps forward, folding you into a warm, lingering hug.
