Title-lock: “Her Turn to Welcome”

Arc: Sun higher, chill burned away. She bent over the new bloom when she looked up and saw the man — hesitant at the garden’s edge, the same posture she once held. Cycle turns: the once-newcomer becomes welcomer. She sees him the way the rope-maker once saw her.

Continuity locks: harbor-town garden only · rope-maker=he · newcomer-now-insider=she · stranger/man=he NEW · call rope-maker and stranger distinctly · no city/Travelers/silver. Cycle turns at 4736.
