My child is hungry, hurry and eat

The black leather bag, a silent companion, rested on the polished wooden surface, the gold chain strap catching the ambient light. It was a witness to countless stories, a repository of secrets and everyday essentials. Its owner, a woman with a discerning eye for style, had just placed it there, the soft clink of the chain a brief punctuation in the quiet room. Inside, a world of its own: a compact mirror, a vintage lipstick, a small notebook filled with hurried thoughts, and a single, smooth stone she’d picked up on a beach years ago. Each item, a chapter in her life. The bag, sleek and sophisticated, held these fragments of a life lived with intention, waiting patiently for its next journey.
