Zinnia absentmindedly tapped her cup, a slight frown appearing on her face. ‘Why do I feel so off? she wondered, unable to pinpoint the source of her uncase.

“What’s wrong? Can’t hold it? Let me take it for you,” Yannis said gently when he saw Zinnia frown, steadying the oversized cup in her arms. The cup was a bit heavy, and though he wanted to help, she insisted on holding it herself.

“It’s fine. I can handle it.” Zinnia shook her head, and then lowered her gaze and took a sip of her coffee. She didn’t bother trying to untangle the jumble of emotions inside her. Lately, they’d been swirling around all the

time.

She was used to it, and they hadn’t done her any harm. Zinnia wasn’t one for patience; if she couldn’t figure them out, she’d just let them go.

While they chatted, the shop assistant was busy at work. Then, a voice called from the floral counter. “Your order is ready.”

The two turned to see the finished floral arrangement in the assistant’s hands. Zinnia’s eyes widened in surprise, and Yannis showed a hint of satisfaction.

The assistant approached carrying a three–foot–long rose stick. When the other customers in the shop caught sight of this unique bouquet, their eyes lit up with amazement.

Tugging at her boyfriend’s sleeve, a girl cooed, “I want one like that, too.”

A customer gasped, “Who knew flowers could be arranged like this? They’re absolutely gorgeous.”

“Who’s the genius who came up with this? Absolutely brilliant!”

The iced blue roses were artfully wrapped around the stick, adorned with satin ribbons and glistening pearl- string lights. Under the admiring gazes of onlookers, the assistant approached, carrying the stunning bouquet over to Yannis and Zinnia.

Yannis took the bouquet, and then turned to relieve Zinnia of her coffee cup, pressing the flowers into her hands as her eyes sparkled with delight. With a gentle, teasing smile, he murmured, “Here–your very own rose bouquet.”
