Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life

Shawn's face lit up when he saw Flora. He rummaged through his bag and pulled out a gift box, handing it to her. "Flora, my cousin wouldn't stop bugging me to buy this over the weekend. I figured you'd like it too, so I got one for you as well. Consider it a thank you for helping me with my paper."

Darcy leaned in, giving Shawn and Flora a knowing look. "Shawn, why'd you only bring Flora a gift? Playing favorites, huh?"

"Well, it's different when it's someone you like. Our forever-single Shawn finally has a crush!"

"Cut it out, guys!"

Shawn quickly tried to shut them up, nervously glancing at Flora to see if she was upset. When he saw she wasn't, he relaxed a bit.

"Alright, everyone back to work. If you have too much free time, I can ask Dr. Ray to find more tasks for you."

At that, the group, who had been joking around, quickly dispersed. They were already swamped, and more tasks from Dr. Ray would be the end of them.

"Just a bit of teasing and you're already acting like Flora's the most precious thing. Still not admitting you like her, huh?"

"Flora, don't pay attention to them. They're just used to joking around. And don't feel pressured about the gift, I just..."

Shawn fumbled for words, worried about troubling Flora.
