Eliza hummed as she expertly weaved a complex tapestry, the vibrant threads a kaleidoscope in the afternoon sun. The rhythmic click of the loom was a metronome to her peaceful state.

Eliza laughed, the sound bubbling up from her. "Absolutely, love. Let's find you some tiny needles." Seeing Maya's enthusiasm, her heart did a little skip. It was more than a hobby; it was connection.
