The noisy plaza was bustling as people gathered around the store's display. It was after the holidays, but the oldest toy store in the city always decorated their enormous storefront at the beginning of each new year. The tradition began with the store's original owner, Margot Thistle, in her hope of keeping the youthful wonder and majesty of the holidays alive.

It was a jovial tradition passed down to her daughter. But she only saw the display as a financial boon, and soon the costly practice became a miserly experiment. The storefront was once lavishly decorated, making everyone feel childlike for a few weeks longer. However, Margot's daughter began to skimp on costs. She cheaply placed the hottest toys of the season on display as nothing more than a tactic to get kids to harass their parents for the toys they didn't receive during the holidays. The store lost business, fell into disrepair, and people began going to chain stores for toys.

Margot eventually took back control of the store. With the help of her grandson, Andre, they rebuilt the toy store into a fantastical delight. It took time to get the crowds to return, but nostalgia had a powerful allure that the townspeople could not ignore. It was a ragtag operation between Margot and Andre, but their love for the store and the city gave them the means to be creative despite having to be frugal. It began by using a black curtain to hide the display being set up. Even in the age of technology and rumor, that little black curtain became the talk of the town.

For the past five years, the displays had grown to be as great as they were in Margot's heyday, but this year Andre—having had a son of his own—was more excited than ever to make this the biggest event yet. As the sun set and became an orange spotlight on the town square, Margot and Andre prepared to pull back the curtain. And with one mighty tug, the new displays beamed out to the overcrowded square. Flashbulbs went off, social media began buzzing, and the two toy store owners smiled from ear-to-ear. While some, including Margot's daughter, called the spectacle immature, Margot and Andre saw it as an opportunity to remind the town that no matter what, they were still a community looking to experience a bit of their innocence for just a little while longer.

Which excerpt from the awakening best highlights the elation edna feels when she thinks of robert? the morning was full of sunlight and hope. edna could see before her no denial—only the promise of excessive joy. she lay in bed awake, with bright eyes full of speculation. “he loves you, poor fool.” he would come to her in the afternoon or evening, sit and roll his cigarette, talk a little, and go away as he had done the night before. but how delicious it would be to have him there with her! robert did not come that day. she was keenly disappointed. he did not come the following day, nor the next. each morning she awoke with hope, and each night she was a prey to despondency. his horses were full of mettle, and even a little unmanageable. she liked the rapid gait at which they spun along, and the quick, sharp sound of the horses' hoofs on the hard road.
