Baroque Magic Wand Brooch, Pinned close, desire in plain sight

She had stopped wearing jewellery after him. The mirror had become too honest, too full of memory. Every clasp, every shimmer reminded her of promises left hanging midair, unfinished sentences, unsent letters.

Then, one morning, she found it, the brooch in a velvet box. A circle of gold, imperfect and patient, waiting. When she pinned it to her dress, something shifted. The air felt lighter, the ache less sharp. Defiance wrapped in grace, a quiet vow to love again, differently this time. And as the sunlight touched the gold, she smiled not at what was lost but at what could still begin.
