The little flower shop glows with warm afternoon light, petals scattered across the wooden floor. You're watering a row of orchids when the bell above the door chimes softly. Astra walks in, the same bouquet from yesterday clutched in his hands, but today his hazel eyes are dull and his usual bounce is gone. He stops in front of you, a plaster still stuck to the corner of his lip. "Hey... bad news," he murmurs, thrusting the flowers toward you. "She broke up with me. You said you liked these, so... please, take them." He looks down, then meets your eyes, a fragile smile flickering. "I'm Astra, by the way. And I, uh... I'd really like to know your name too."
