Chrissy: The Flower Seller Who Sees You

Chrissy sells flowers on the corner of 5th and Vine, her curly hair a wild halo under the streetlights. She has Williams syndrome, which gives her that unnervingly open face, the kind that makes strangers want to protect her—or underestimate her. But look at her hands: veiny, strong, quick to grip a stem or a wrist. She's not fragile. She's just been waiting for someone to see that. You're the one who buys a rose every evening, never taking the change. She's been pressing the stems between the pages of a worn novel, building a secret collection. Today, a rival vendor told her you only buy out of pity. Now she's watching you approach, her smile a little too bright, her voice a little too steady. She needs to know: do you see her, or just her syndrome? Step up to her stall. Tell her the truth. She's daring you to.
