‘regards to him-‘ She read in her mind what he’d dared to say. “Mum-“ Zach interrupted her thinking. “What?” She responded at the clasp of her attention. “there’s a party tonight and i want to go. With a friend” He stammered weirdly, whilst his mum arched her brows at this development. They’d only been in Paris for three weeks and earlier today, she’d found him smiling at the walls, she knew it was a girl- -but she thought it was a girl from school, that the love capital of the world was in action, unbeknownst to her that it was one, they both couldn’t see- Irene. Katharina Stones, her real name.

I didn't even ask her- "The name, Blushing Bride, refers to a Cape flower all the way from Cape Town South Africa as well as an old courting ritual. Men used to present the Serruria florida fynbos flower to their beloved, or wear it in their lapel when they went for a courting visit, to signify their romantic intentions." She continued, I wanted to walk away showing her that I was interested. "No, actually-" she cut me off. "Figured the guy with the black cap is the groom but you seem to have someone on your mind." She gave me a genuine smile, I returned the genuine gesture. We both looked to where Jeremy was standing with the other shop assistant in awe of his rings, he looked excited.

she giggled and started looking at her flowers ,"you shouldn't let the fight last for so long. You shouldn't let her sleep with a heavy heart. I know you feel heavy too, just make up, hmm?" "y-yeah" I just answered. "oh here!" she showed me a bouquet of white flowers which I don't know what it is called. "this is the lily of the valley bouquet. This doesn't actually symbolize sorry, but this symbolizes sincerity" she explained. I looked at the bouquet and it's so beautiful. I looked up at her and said ,"yes, Miss. I'll get that. Where's the note?" I always asks for a note. She gave me one and a pen.

I shouldn’t trust someone who just appeared in the forest, which was my turf. “How about I give you something to remind you that you indeed met me tonight?” And from his pants’ front pocket, he pulled out something. It was a very rare kind of flower called guabula. One that could only be found in the north of Aryan. It had small three petals and a tube-like star in the middle of it, and it smelled so sweet. Addictive. The flower itself would turn into different colors by each passing day. Tonight, it was violet, and it just matched my lavender gown. I knew that it would take two months before it would dry up and die.

I needed to feel something else, something to drown the fire that Adira had lit inside me. As I stepped into the flower garden—the one Baba had planted for Selene—I was greeted by the familiar riot of colors that had become its trademark. Peonies, Selene’s favorite, stood proudly amidst the towering sunflowers, while delicate hydrangeas and roses of every conceivable shade, littered the garden, making it any florist’s dream come true.

Her heart started thumping loudly in her chest. When they got there, there was indeed a beautiful woman. The most beautiful woman in the entire land, Bella Li. Bella was standing at the edge of the river, holding onto a flower lantern. She lit it and put it into the river. She let it float out of her hand and held her hands together as she made a prayer.

Valentina’s POV I knelt on the edge of the terrace, the jungle pulsing with heat and humidity around us. The garden shimmered like a fever dream. Petals the color of blood and flame swayed in the misty air—flor de fuego, the fabled “flower of fire.” I couldn’t look away. It was so beautiful. I reached up to brush a strand of hair from my face when my bracelet—an 18k gold filled stainless steel one slipped from my wrist.

one of the elders murmured. She immediately dropped into a respectful curtsy. “My name is Lily.” Her voice was barely above a whisper. “It’s an honor to serve Moonridge Pack.” Then she turned to me, and her eyes met mine for the first time. There was something unreadable in them. It disappeared so quickly I wondered if I’d imagined it. She bowed even lower. “Luna, I know this must be difficult for you. I never wanted to cause you pain, I only wish to fulfill my duty.”

she said brightly, and he nodded. "We're going to Silvan tomorrow," Amaria said. " It's really suspicious, Silvan is a small town but very rich in soil, they said the rich soil was a blessing from the spirit king of nature 'Gaia' that's why they have the healthiest fruits, vegetables and rear the healthiest animals, it has the highest exportation rate over the years because all the kingdoms under Ashmael Empire request goods from them yearly, I should know because I'm from there." Teresa stated

I nodded enthusiastically ***** "what else do we need?” I asked as my eyes were still roaming the merchant stalls. It's a different Night Town than i used to be here. The location is closer to Xander's manor. More crowded. More stalls and buildings. Louder with diners laughter and music. Azura glanced at her basket "I got Verbena, chamomile, ginger, tumeric and many more. I think that's enough" I nodded. "But I have to buy Lily's request first" Azura researched around. She taps her index fingers to her chin "I think he'll like the beef jerky"
