I was talking about the color scheme, pure white, my favorite. Just like the meaning of my favorite flower, the white peony. I think I even murmured its meaning. Hope. Loyalty. A happy marriage.

The desperation and need was swirling in his eyes. I didn't even know where we reached to our room. He put me down and closed the door behind him.

She fell for his scheme and was picking the daffodils herself now! It really was a sight to behold. Of course, he himself stretched his hand to the peony, not one of these with bad meaning.

The old man responded. Elena met his gaze with honesty. “The only thing I know is that this flower is a peony. It’s not for the child to play with, but a gift for my family. The elders in our pack love flowers. We came here today to choose one they can treasure.” The old man straightened his back slightly.
