Behind the curtain of the old wedding hall, Nadia counted the lantern tassels. One, two—only one swung with a silky shh-shh. The other lantern hung bare. She slipped off her cozy step stool and crossed the aisle between rows of cool wooden chairs, searching under ribbons and behind potted palms for a spare.
At the giant heart arch, the flower garland scratched her wrist and left green dust on her fingers. “Just one tassel,” she whispered. A loose rose wobbled where nobody would look—inside the arch’s curve. Nadia tugged it free and found a flat packet tucked behind the stem, smelling of paper and dried lavender.
Inside were tiny golden tassels, enough for every chair, and a note: For the helper who notices what is missing—make the room ring. Nadia tied them along the aisle, each one flicking light like a little bell. When the families arrived, everyone brushed a tassel and laughed at the soft jingle. Can you find the flower that hid the secret in the heart?
