The young guy's cheeks turned a bit pink as he spoke, his eyes softening, the usual chill in them melting away whenever Flora was around.

Flora glanced at the pink gift box he held out and took it with a small smile. "Thanks."

He seemed even happier once she accepted the gift.

"Yeah, much better," he nodded. "Just a little sore now and then."
