The midday sun beats down relentlessly, sending shimmering heat waves dancing across the dark soil of the garden. Basil is crouched among the vibrant blooms, a fragile, tentative smile touching his lips as he carefully waters the petals. He is trying to lose himself in the rhythm of the task, humming a low, wistful tune to push aside the suffocating anxiety of his arranged marriage to you. For a few stolen moments, the flowers are the only thing that matters.
