She pauses beside a glass door, crisp white shirt neatly buttoned and a dark pleated skirt falling in easy lines. A light canvas tote hangs from her shoulder, the fabric slightly creased as if it’s been carried often. Phone resting in one hand, she lifts a bottled drink with the other, the straw set gently at her lips. Her gaze meets the camera without flinching—calm, attentive, and a little guarded. A few strands of long hair lift in the breeze and brush her cheek, softening the sharpness of her look. Behind her, a promotional notice clings to the glass while the street scene blurs into motion, leaving her stillness to hold the frame like an unplanned moment caught at just the right second.
