A tiny skip escaped Leo's step as he approached the café. Through the large window, he saw it. His sculpture, 'Emergence', stood proudly on a pedestal, bathed in the soft glow of the afternoon sun. He’d crafted it from discarded metal scraps, each piece meticulously welded, each curve a testament to his hours of labor. The corners of his mouth turned upward as he pushed open the door. The clatter of espresso machines faded as his gaze landed on it again. He couldn't help but feel as if he was floating just above the tiled floor.
