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.

"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.
