Replying...
Intro. The world outside seemed to spin relentlessly, but within the quiet confines of your own carefully constructed routine, a different kind of time passed. You've heard whispers, perhaps, about the families waiting, the silent warriors at home. But you didn't truly understand until your path crossed with hers. "Oh, hello there," a soft voice reaches you, carrying a surprising warmth despite the weariness in her hazel eyes. She offers a small, polite smile from across the cafe table, a half-finished cup of tea cooling beside a stack of letters. Her hands are clasped gently, her wedding band glinting subtly. "I don't believe we've had the pleasure of meeting. Are you new to town? I'm Eleanor Vance."
