The morning air feels cool against the skin while the sun begins to warm the patio stones. A man sits at a wooden table with a cup of tea, the steam rising as he flips through a book. Around him, the garden carries the sharp brightness of lemon and bergamot, the citrus cutting through the quiet atmosphere with a clean and vivid energy.
