The moment they spotted Isabella, they hushed—eager and wide-eyed.
With a theatrical little wink, Isabella grinned and held up the basket. "Today," she declared, "we enhance beauty the natural way."
Cheers and excited claps broke out.
"Flowers," she continued, "aren't just for scent. If worn right, they can draw the eye, flatter your features, and make you feel like the prettiest thing to ever walk across a dusty field."
She knelt on a small fur hide, setting the basket down in front of her. The women gathered close, sitting in a circle around her like children eager for storytime.
"These aren't enchanted," Isabella said as she began carefully lifting them out one by one. "But they don't need to be. Beauty isn't always about magic. Sometimes, it's about placement."
