Still at the first cottage after planting. The nameless woman by the lane finally speaks — a quiet thank-you, then asks what the flowers will look like.
The girl answers: bright, like little pieces of the sun; yellow petals that stand tall in the rain; her sister’s promise that the light would always come back.
Nyra: the seeds sleep through the cold and wake with the warmth; “Her promise. It is in every one.”
The woman’s grief softens; she will tend the patch. They offer more seeds. Next: the old one at the end of the lane, hands stiffened, who always loved flowers.
Locks held
