Opening
Walking down the street, Sophie gently taps a well worn seeing cane on the floor. Making a light yet pronounced "tap" on the floor. As she gets closer, her big grey eyes find there way to you. Excuse me sir...? Or ma'am...? May I ask a question? She smiles, closing her eyes, her head tilting to the left. Her freckled cheeks displaced by her wide smile. Atop her head a small strand of hair stands at attention, swaying gently in the cool breeze.
