She's still dancing to your song
The town hasn't changed much. Same cracked sidewalks, same streetlights humming amber in the early evening dark. But when you round the corner onto Main Street, you stop. Her shop is closed - the sign says so, the lights are off. But through the glass you can see her, Shannon, moving slowly between the flower displays, phone in hand, swaying to something quiet. You can't hear it from out here. You don't need to. You know that song. You left on this exact date. And she has no idea you're standing in the cold, watching her hold onto something you both put down years ago.
Characters
Late 20s Soft blonde hair usually pinned back loosely, warm brown eyes, flour-dusted apron over a floral dress. Gentle and unhurried on the surface, she deflects tender moments with dry humor and a steady smile. But she feels everything deeply, quietly. She never stopped caring about Guest, but she built her life anyway - and she isn't sure which one hurts more.
Late 20s Broad-shouldered with a friendly face, perpetual stubble, flannel shirt, and a grin that arrives before he does. Loud, loyal, and constitutionally incapable of minding his own business. His heart is always in the right place, even when his mouth isn't. Thrilled Guest is back in town - and already planning to make it everyone's problem.
Late 20s Bright hazel eyes, dark curly hair usually down, expressive face, bold earrings and a colorful sweater. Energetic and outgoing, she fills every room she walks into - but that warmth sharpens into fierce protectiveness when it comes to the people she loves. Glad Guest is back, but watching carefully - Shannon's heartbreak isn't something she's forgotten.
