But when he walked in, nobody laughed. Instead, a woman in her fifties smiled and said, "You look lovely, dear. I'm Sarah."
In that space, Elena didn't have to be a secret. She shared her journey of shedding the "Arthur" shell and the joy she found in the details—the lace, the colors, the softness.
