The rain drummed a relentless lullaby on the tall skyscrapers of New York City. It was a city Alex Harper once loathed for its snooty residents and bright lights that masked darker deeds. She stood in the shadows, the taste of tea still on her lips, as the sound of distant jazz music wafted through the humid night air. A flashback from years ago filled her mind—an old friend, a loving creature like a lone puppy in a world of eagles and ogres. How did things come to this?

The darkness was interrupted by the glinting lights of taxis as they sped past. Alex’s eyes fell on a tattered clock hanging above a nearby sidewalk vendor. Time seemed both endless and unbearably short. A lone figure emerged from the misty rain, his gait heavy with malicious intent. Jordan Mitchell. His name felt like a bitter pill in her throat. They were here for the same funeral, each driven by different, yet intertwined, motives.

Jordan’s eyes were fixed on her, holding a blend of vile hatred and profound sadness. “You’ve got a lot of nerve showing up here, Alex,” he sneered, his voice a low growl.

“I am sorry, Jordan,” Alex replied softly, her voice carrying years’ worth of regret and loneliness. “I never meant for things to end up like this.”

“Sorry isn’t enough,” he barked, his big frame towering menacingly. “You ruined everything.”

She began to speak, but the words choked in her throat. Instead, she reached into her bag and pulled out a beautifully wrapped object. The wrapping paper was art in itself—Art Nouveau Botanical Print, a luxurious explosion of vibrant color amid the monochrome lives they lived. Large flowers with orange petals and yellow stamen stood against a contrasting black background, bursting forth like near 3D imagery.

Jordan’s eyes narrowed as he caught sight of the wrapping paper. “What’s this supposed to be?” he asked, puzzled but slightly less hostile.

“It’s—it’s just a gift for Leila,” Alex explained, her legs trembling slightly. “I thought she might like something beautiful before she’s… completely gone.”

Jordan hesitated. The mention of Leila brought a flicker of graciousness to his face, softening the armor of hatred he wore. He took the gift, his large hands almost tender as he examined the exquisite wrapping. “You think a pretty wrapping paper can change things?” His voice was still tinged with bitterness but considerably less aggressive.

“No, but I hope what’s inside might,” Alex replied, her arched eyebrows knit in earnest hope.

They walked in silence to the site of the funeral. The urban landscape seemed almost protective in its indifferent shelter over them. The skyscrapers that Alex had always found snooty now felt like silent guardians.

Inside the modest service hall, where the soft hum of sorrow resonated, Alex saw Leila—frail, but with an incredible resilience that was almost angelic. Jordan handed the carefully wrapped gift to her, and she slowly, almost daintily, peeled back the Art Nouveau wrapping paper. The edges shimmered under the dim lights, adding a touch of sophistication to the somber room.

Within the delicate masterpiece of wrapping was a journal, pages blank but brimming with potential, symbolizing the fresh start Alex desperately wanted for all of them. Leila’s eyes sparkled with gratefulness, tears silently rolling down her cheeks.

As the service concluded, Jordan turned to Alex. The anger in his face had given way to a sad but resigned acceptance. “I won’t forget, but maybe one day, I can forgive,” he said, his voice softer, almost vulnerable.

“I’m running out of time, but thank you, Jordan,” Alex replied, tears in her eyes.

The New York rain persisted, lightly tapping on the service hall windows. Alex looked around, feeling the loneliness lift ever so slightly. She knew leaving the past behind wouldn’t be easy, but tonight, amid the unforgiving urban world of skyscrapers and rain, a fragile hope began to bloom.

As she left the hall, she caught sight of the discarded wrapping paper that had encased her gift. It lay in stark contrast to the cold pavement, its vibrant motifs a reminder that even in a world of rampaging shadows, there could be moments of unexpected beauty.

And sometimes, those moments are wrapped in the simplest of gifts.
