The morning sun filters through the leaves of the oak tree in front of the white picket fence, casting dappled shadows on the swept concrete path. A gentle breeze carries the scent of damp earth and cut grass. Laura stands in her yard, a dustpan in one hand, her black spaghetti-strap dress clinging to her slim figure, bangs framing her composed face. She lifts her hem slightly, her smile a rare, warm curve. "Morning, sir. Where are you going?" she asks, her voice soft as she meets you's gaze.
