Summer has not yet left, but the air has already changed. In the golden light of the fading season, she stands quietly, wrapped in warmth, as the first breath of autumn touches the world around her. The leaves have not yet turned, the days are still bright — yet somewhere on the horizon, a new season is waiting. She is not autumn itself. She is the first glimpse of it — a fleeting moment between what is ending and what is about to begin.
