The success of the fundraiser! What a relief! Michael could barely contain his delight. He’d poured everything into the project and the results had exceeded all expectations. A persistent tapping on his door broke his quiet celebrations.

A glorious mix of tulips, red, yellow, and orange. No note. He spun around, arms outstretched, feeling that joyous surge.

He decided that the flowers would rest near the fireplace. He would spend his night, feeling at peace in the warm glow, smiling.
