With this room being so full of light, Avery wonders why it's kept so much darker in the main and jests that Ember may have secrets. She twinkles almost imperceptibly, adding that perhaps she does. She explains that the curtain is to shut out the sun from the front of the shop. The darker room protects the contents of the bottles from spoiling,

If only he could bottle the feeling of tranquility that he's experienced today and take it back with him to his everyday life, he tells her. Ember has just the thing and asks Avery to give her a moment to prepare it. She takes a small vial and turns her back whilst she fills it with herbs that she grinds with her mortar and pestle.

She utters some hushed words and taking a pinch of sand from a jar, blows it from her hand over the vial. She adds a couple of other items, a tiny shell and a piece of dried seaweed, and seals the vial with a small cork. She wraps the whole thing in brown paper. Ember tells him to open it and breathe in its fragrance whenever he feels the need to remember his time here.

To think of it as a bottled memory that sets him free. She looks deeply into his eyes and he is quite transfixed. He laughs shyly and puts it in his pocket.

Together, they lock up the shop

And say goodnight to Nicodemus. The late afternoon is lovely. Their shadows grow long and tall. The third little shadow of Mr. Rumour trotting happily beside them as the evening draws in.
