“Why are you not saying anything, don’t you like it?” Neil asked, noticing my silence.

“Yes,” I nodded and chuckled, “I’m bathing with the roses you sent.”

Neil seemed to be taken aback, not fully understanding. So, I pointed the camera at the bathtub, full of rose petals spreading a delicate fragrance.

He fell silent, seemingly at a loss for words. This was the first time he had ever given me flowers. Even the bouquet at our wedding was chosen by his mother.

“I thought it wasn’t from you because you didn’t leave a note, so I used them for my bath, I explained awkwardly.
