The trio dashed out, lined up like a row of candies, their laughter and chatter filling the crisp morning air. They made a beeline for the shop, where Morwenna's eyes widened in amazement.

The quaint little store was now surrounded by a sea of floral arrangements and baskets, over a hundred of them, forming three vibrant rings around it. And there, right in front of the main entrance, was the mos unexpected sight-a lion dance performance!

Four majestic lion dance troupes, each adorned in dazzlingly distinct colors, were performing with such life and vigor. It was a rare treat; lion dances had become something of a rarity, a cherished tradition that few knew how to organize and even fewer chose to include in their celebrations. Yet, here it was, a delightful bridge between the past and present, appealing to college students with its blend of nostalgia and novelty.

The crowd around was buzzing with excitement, their discussions punctuated with cheers of approval at particularly impressive feats. Even the other shop owners from the school couldn't resist coming over to watch.

At the climax, a collective cheer erupted: "Bravo!" Morwenna, too, was completely captivated.

She had been utterly absorbed by the dance, but suddenly, a warmth spread across the back of her neck, a sensation as if someone's gaze was fixed intently upon her. Turning instinctively, she caught sight of a familiar figure and gasped.

"Stu...Stuart!" she whispered, her voice trembling slightly with a mix of surprise and excitement. What was Stuart doing here?
