The orchid was exotic, a single, perfect bloom, delivered to her office. No name. Sophia felt a prickle of annoyance. Who could it be?

She had been following the story of a local rescue dog online, a dog that had been through a lot. The dog was finally safe, but still needed a home. She decided that this was the most important thing.

She took the orchid to the local rescue centre. She handed it to the volunteer, and smiled when she saw the dogs get a whiff of it.
