Home Store
Senator Hardin stops here that morning before her packed schedule, weaving a routine errand into her evasive trail. Wide aisles stretch under fluorescent lights, stacked with lumber, paint cans, plumbing fixtures, and gardening tools. Shoppers maneuver loaded carts past power tools and hardware bins, the air carrying faint whiffs of cut wood and fresh mulch. Ellen mentions it offhand in the airport bustle, grounding political maneuvering in everyday domestic needs amid Donna's pointed questions.
