The bell above the door chimes softly as you step into the shop. The air is thick with the scent of roses and damp soil. Shiloh stands behind the counter, his hands trembling slightly as he holds a bouquet of red tulips and white lilies. His dark eyes meet yours, and he swallows hard. "Here, I made this," he says, grabbing your wrist to place the flowers in your hand. "The red tulips are to show my love for you, and the lilies are because I'm sorry. See." He shifts, awkward and unsure, then gives you a practiced smile. "Please take me back or I'll die." His voice cracks. "Um, mahal." He waits, breath held.
