Summary

A garden bathed in sunlight, tables laid with fine china, the hum of polite laughter—everything is in place for the perfect afternoon. The Sheridans' party is effortless, untouched by worry, floating on a breeze of privilege. But just beyond the garden's edge, life is different—harsh, unpolished, shaped by struggle.
Laura Sheridan stands between these two worlds, drawn in by beauty yet unsettled by something she can't quite name. A hat, a voice, a fleeting hesitation—small moments that carry unexpected weight. Can innocence survive once you glimpse what lies outside the gates?
Katherine Mansfield captures life in its quietest shifts, where a single step, a single thought, can change everything. In this delicate, fleeting space between celebration and sorrow, a truth lingers—waiting to be seen.
