A Special Occasion
On Sunday mornings, Maria rarely opened the salon, so this was a special occasion. As she pushed the door open, she noticed her reflection behind her even though she wasn’t sure the girl would arrive. She called out to the girl, inviting her into the salon. The girl’s attire was different from the day before. Her dark hair was free, and she had traded in her sweatpants and hoodie for a flowing blue dress. Did she seem more content? Maria would learn.
