The lilies were fragrant, the scent filling the small apartment. David looked at them, mystified. No sender. He wondered about the meaning.

The local community garden had been struggling lately, suffering from vandalism and neglect. David knew the gardener, an older man who poured his heart into his work.

He took the lilies to the garden, hoping they'd help to brighten the space. The gardener, his face etched with worry, gave him a small, genuine smile. David felt a quiet satisfaction.
