OPEN STARTER   ⸻  leona’s antique shop. 

leona peeks over the counter. cat-eyes stare for a moment before the blonde ducks beneath a old chandelier. “hey there.” her voice is soft. she was never the type to force a sale out of a potential customer. her eyes drop to the object. a rare piece. “emerald stone pocket watch.”

she allows the silence between them to build for a moment. “great choice. rare as they come. discounted because of the tiny chip of course.” 

her head tilts for a moment towards the individual. she can hear the voices of their past. ancestors and all. she had become good at avoiding her gift.  “i’ll take an extra twenty off if you’ll take this...” she pauses before reaching for a matching emerald ring. something that resembles the roaring twenties. “with it.”
