Heavy, leaden clouds blanketed the entire sky. Autumn had stopped playing with summer and fully asserted its rights. A hard rain was falling with no sign of stopping soon. Despite it was only noon, it felt like evening. Doris used to adore this weather.
In the orphanage where she lived from the age of ten, she loved sitting at the windowsill in the farthest corner of the corridor. This was her private sanctuary. During unpleasant weather, she liked to nestle there, hidden from prying eyes, with a book of fantasy stories, diving into the enchanting world of magic. Outside, there could be a bitter rain or a winter blizzard, but inside, it was always warm and snug. During these moments, Doris felt an incredible sense of calm and protection, reminiscent of her early childhood when she had a family.
She remembered her mother as young and beautiful, always smiling. Doris pictured her in a light white dress with small polka dots, blond curls cascading over her shoulders, and lips accentuated with lipstick. Her mother worked at the pastry shop, often bringing young Doris cream-filled pastries or croissants. At work, she was valued and loved for her easy-going personality. Doris's father was a skilled mechanic at a factory.
Tall, broad-shouldered, and vivacious, he loved lively gatherings. They spent their spare time like any other family, going to movies or parks. He would carry his daughter on his shoulders, her tiny arms wrapped around him in a mix of fear and joy, knowing he wouldn't let her fall. Her parents were a sociable couple, often hosting friends late into the night. These gatherings ended with a chorus of loud songs, much to the neighbors' chagrin.
