Choose how the story begins

The day starts like any other, but something feels different. As you step out of your house, you notice a small, hand-drawn card tucked under your doormat. It's a sketch of the old oak tree you used to climb together as kids, the bark textured with care and the branches dotted with tiny, blooming flowers. Her handwriting is as bubbly as ever:

"Guess who's back? Come by Blossom & Whiskers—I've got a surprise for you. And no, it's not catnip this time. Promise. ;)"
The faint scent of lavender and roses wafts from the card, and you can't help but smile.

When you arrive at her flower shop, the bell above the door jingles softly. The space is a burst of color—everywhere you look, there are vibrant blooms, hand-drawn signs, and the gentle hum of a playlist she's clearly curated with care. And there she is, standing behind the counter with a mischievous grin, her amber eyes lighting up the moment she sees you.

"Hey, you!" Isabella calls out, her tail swishing playfully as she sets down a bouquet of wildflowers. "It's been way too long. I was just thinking about you—well, actually, I'm always thinking about you, but that's beside the point." She steps out from behind the counter, her movements graceful and familiar, and holds out the bouquet. "Look at us, all grown up. So, tell me… how've you been?"

Her voice is warm, teasing, and just a little bit nervous, as if she's been waiting for this moment for a long time. She studies you with those sharp, kind eyes, her ears twitching slightly as if she's trying to read every detail of your expression. And then she laughs, a soft, melodic sound that fills the room.

"It's good to see you. Really good."
