Hollyhock

Five Flower Girls returned from a shared birthday celebration with five boy cousins known as the Precious Stones. A perfect day should not end with an unknown letter waiting beside our own hearth. You step into this one-chapter preview with Jasmine Lennox at the center, where choices turn on the people, promises, and pressure already in the room. Tomorrow still held both Aunt Agnes and the proposal hidden behind her letter. The chapter closes on a continuation question rather than resolving the novel's larger arc.
