Mary-Mattocks had always dreamed of making it in the big city, leaving behind her small Southern town with its slow pace and warm smiles for the fast life of skyscrapers and opportunity. But when she arrived, the bustling streets felt more like a jungle, with people brushing past her without a word, never pausing for pleasantries. The sharpness of city life was a shock, but Mary - Mattocks held on to her Southern charm, offering sweet smiles and holding doors open for strangers, even if they ignored her. With her ever-present hair bows and unshakeable politeness, she made her way through the city's cold exterior, determined to make a mark without losing the grace that made her who she was.
