Marta left eventually, because people always do. She carried a small thing folded in her pocket: a scrap of cloth from a rug someone had woven during a long hard winter, a ribbon of color that, when she unwrapped it years later on a rainy afternoon in a different city, smelled faintly of hay and lemon balm and the patience of others. She smiled, as if remembering a language. Happylambbarn remained, as it should—half barn, half promise—its sign creaking in the wind, a simple, crooked beacon for anyone who needed to learn to stop and listen.
