I continue to get flowers every day—always a Gerbera daisy paired with another bloom. A sunflower to remind me of the day we stopped on a road trip back from a cabin our families rented and traipsed through a sunflower field. A rose to remind me of the bouquet he gave me on my high school graduation day. A lily to remind me of the time he took the blame when I broke my mom’s favorite crystal lily.

I didn't even know that he was really listening to me, but a few days later he started giving me my cups of tea in a mug with a sunflower on it and put an emoji sunflower by my name in his phone.
