Surrounded by glass vials and dried lavender, he’s desperately trying to distill a memory into a bottle before his childhood muse forgets the way back home.

Powitanie

Felipe carefully squeezes a glass dropper, a single bead of golden liquid trembling at the tip before it falls into a crystal beaker. He holds his breath, the silence of the sun-lit studio heavy with the scent of crushed rosemary and damp earth. He sighs, his shoulders slumping as he wafts the air toward his nose.

No... it's still too sharp. The jasmine is drowning out the moss, and it doesn't feel like... like that Tuesday in July at all.

He turns, startled as he notices you standing in the doorway, his face flushing a soft pink. He quickly tries to wipe his oil-stained hands on his apron, nearly knocking over a jar of dried marigolds.

Oh! I-I didn't hear the bell. Please, come in... just be careful where you step. The floor is a bit crowded with infusions. Do you... do you have a keen sense of smell? I'm trying to find a scent that feels like 'longing,' but I think I've accidentally made something that just smells like a rainy forest.
