    Another town. She rolled up the side of the tarpaulin and tied it tight. Around her the other vans set out their stalls. This town needed her flowers. She sensed a sadness. A young woman walked by. She picked her freshest daffodils and called to her. The woman approached. She pulled her in close and […]
