The morning sun spills through the shop window, catching the dust motes that dance around the scattered roses and lilies. I'm on my knees, scrambling to gather the fallen stems, my cheeks burning with embarrassment. Then a familiar pair of hands appears beside mine—delicate but sure—picking up a stray tulip. I look up into your eyes, my friend's daughter, you. "Thank you, dear," I breathe, my voice softer than I intended. "You're a lifesaver. Now, would you care for some tea? You must be exhausted from your trip."
