White moth orchids symbolize respect and sincerity.” Wulan nodded in agreement. “Besides, Aunt Doni’s a plant expert, so I already got insider information that this plant won’t make Aurelia struggle explaining care instructions to her mother-in-law.” Aurelia looked at both of them with a small smile. “You two are seriously my lifesavers today. I was honestly just going to buy scented candles before this. Good thing you came along.”

“The flower that you love is not in danger...” His voice was soft, low, like a lullaby. My eyelids grew heavy. “You’re beautiful, but you’re empty...” Then a pause. A long one. “No one could die for you...” “I know...” I didn’t know if that reply came from the book, or from him. Maybe I was already dreaming. “The most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or touched... they are felt with the heart.” Then silence. I peeked through my sleepy eyes and bit my lip.

“Why do I feel like I am trying to strike air?” “Because that is exactly what you are doing…” “Sorry?” My eyebrows bunched together in confusion and I gaped at Oleander. “How is that possible? I can clearly see the wall in front of me.” Oleander pressed her palms against what looked like the wall, her lips curving in a half smile. “There seems to be a visual barrier here.” Her lips trembled in a quiet spell. There was a soft flash of blue light and the next moment, a large oak door came into view.

The repetition steadied me—the tug of stems, the crumble of dirt between my fingers, the soft sigh of the night wind against my back. The scent of the lilies rose thicker as the breeze passed through, a pale perfume that reminded me of old summers and forgotten grief. The petals glowed faintly, as though alive under the Goddess’s gaze. I whispered a prayer Lila had once taught me when words used to feel easier on my tongue. “For healing,” she’d said, “for courage when the heart misbehaves.” My voice wavered on the last word, caught between brea

What happened? Talking hurt, it hurt like never before. Even in the worst of colds it was not that way, it was certainly a naygetto verbalize the thoughts and desires to employees and healers, but it was not like that.

After all, wouldn't a wilted rose prove it was once a beautiful bloom? As she stared at the rose, she suddenly recalled a quote: "Life is like a garden. It can produce the most beautiful blooms." Rebecca didn't understand why others couldn't appreciate this artificial flower that was still alive just because it looked withered.

Oleander regarded her daughter with a weary look, which was tainted with another emotion that Genève could not figure out. “Yes, I will assist you, darling.

She dumped the second one into the first and happily walked into the kitchen, shaking the spice as she passed.

Anna felt her heart skip a beat and a smile stretched on her lips as she gazed at the fifty long-stemmed sparkling roses, an elegant satin ribbon wrapped around the stem. “It’s breathtaking,” she whispered, her voice filled with emotion. “It is.” “I think there is a note,” Wendy pointed out.

I need to destroy it.”
