The Art of Strategic Vocabulary
The Saturday Artisan Market in Sasspoint Village was packed with the usual polished crowd: women in beautifully tailored Ankara outfits quietly judging each other’s fabric choices, men talking about imported coffee beans like they were stock investments, and children running dangerously close to handcrafted candle displays that cost far more than anyone’s common sense allowed.…

The Grace Budget
In Sasspoint Village, people managed things well. Time. Image. Commitments. And for some—quietly, without ever saying it out loud—even grace. Caleb was known for being dependable.
