"By the way, ma." Doreen said and Alexandra raised her brow, "Do you still love me?" "What?" Alexandra let out a chuckle. "That's what the flowers symbolize. They are Daffodils."

Each of these flowers was a rose, tulip, carnation, orchid, and aster. From the left on how they stood was how I'd mention. The sobbing little child held the carnation flower. I ordered men to take out the flowers from each of their baskets.

When I open my mouth, I am even shocked at the immense calm that accompanies my words. “How did you manage for her to slip away from your fingers? In a place where you’ve had her surrounded?” He splays his fingers to gesture. “Like a poof of air…she vanished. I can’t believe you, Je…Jay.

You usually just take a few. You sure you want them all gone?" "Yeah." She parked herself on a bench and watched them work all day—snipping, clearing, loading up the truck. By sunset, the sky was streaked in pink and purple. Suri grabbed a torch and lit the leftovers on fire.

Of course I wanted his number then I replied, "What is your name?" I sat my phone down so I could dry off and get dressed. Then like clock work another ping from I*******m. He asked, "What is your name beautiful?" I began to blush then replied. "My name is Elisabeth Rose Freeman ,but everyone calls me Beth", I messaged back.

However, as soon as I got out of bed the next morning, I saw that Mom's favorite little garden had been reduced to an utterly horrible mess. The swing Mom had made for me was thrown onto the ground, the planks broken and covered in muddy footprints. Even Mom's favorite apple tree had been chopped down by Layla. The maids had also uprooted the blooming roses and planted lavender sprigs instead, while Layla stood to the side, clapping and chuckling to herself. I stood there, feeling the blood rushing to my head. All of my reason, restraint, and rationality vanished at that very moment.

"Our dear Myrtle Adelaide Noctavia." Artemisia's stomach was beginning to wrap. Myrtle flipped back in, advancing between pages. "Autumn twenty-seven of nineteen hundred, our second flower has just come home. Beautiful as a rose, we gave it a new name of Rose Judith Noctavia, our little rosebud." Myrtle kept talking and went back to flipping through that memoir, until it was over. There was a lonely, blank page, almost entirely blank. At the top something was written in pencil, obviously Myrtle read aloud.

“It smells amazing here.” A florist approached, her apron dusted with petals. “Can I help you?” “Yes,” Adam said, gesturing toward Chloe. “My sister wants to choose some flowers.” Chloe reached out, her fingers brushing the edge of a display. “Can you describe them to me?” The florist began listing options. “We have sunflowers—bright and cheerful—pink roses, daisies, lilies... Would you like to feel them?” Chloe nodded, and the florist gently placed a rose in her hand. Chloe traced the soft petals, her smile widening. “This is lovely. What is it?”
