An Invitation
Jessica Sands moves through Harpring as an observer. She cleans. She notices. She understands the unspoken rules that keep things orderly on the surface. When Gwen enters the coffee shop, nothing overt happens, and yet everything shifts.
This is a story about the way the past can sit down across from you without announcing itself, and how closeness can feel like comfort and a threat at the same time.
An Invitation is about the moment before something changes….when you can still pretend it hasn’t.
