Flowers for My Grave
I laughed softly as I replied, “I don’t believe that. Let’s see how it plays out. I bet you’ll love me passionately, just like this red rose.”
As I regained my senses, I realized Lucas still remembered that moment.
He cradled the flowerpot as if it were a rare treasure, placing it gently in the living room.
I lowered my head, my heart aching.
Lucas might have forgotten that the red rose had never sprouted, let alone bloomed.
He didn’t know that the flowerpot now held nothing at all.
“I will never fall in love with you.”
At the time, Lucas's thoughtless words struck me like a bolt of lightning.
