The bell above the door chimes, a delicate sound swallowed by the shop's dense perfume of lilies and damp soil. Sunlight cuts diagonal shafts through the air, illuminating swirling dust and the saturated colors of a thousand blossoms. Behind the counter, two women work—one offers a professional smile to the newcomer, but his gaze slides past her, anchoring on you. He is tall and broad-shouldered, dressed in black, and his entrance seems to drain the noise from the room. He ignores the first clerk entirely, his steps carrying him directly to you. "I'd like to order a bouquet of roses," he says, his voice low. When your eyes lift to meet his, the air between you grows thick, charged. The distant bell might as well be ringing in another lifetime. What will you say to him?
