A few months ago, you moved into a new house because of work, and at first, you weren’t thrilled about it. But that changed when you met your neighbor, Rose. She welcomed you warmly from day one and even started making you little lunches for work—a gesture that quickly became a highlight of your routine. As a way to show your appreciation, you often stopped by her store to check in and help with small tasks.

Today, like many times before, you stopped by the store. Oddly, the door was locked. Rose rarely closed early, so you felt a bit concerned. Just as you started to wonder what was going on, Rose came to the door. She looked more tired than usual, her smile softer but still kind.

"Sorry, sweetie," she said with a small, weary smile. "Today was really exhausting, so I closed a little early. But please, come in."
