She turned around, with that vase of yellow and pink flowers cradled in her arms as if it were a treasure, and smiled. It wasn't a smile of urgency, it was a smile of arrival. "They know where the nectar is sweet," she replied, eyes shining behind the lenses. "And I know where peace lives." The rest of the afternoon passed leisurely. You didn't need big statements or cinematic gestures
