A wave of warmth spread through Elias as he opened the door to find a delivery man with flowers. He hadn’t expected this. He hadn’t expected anything, really. His life had been a series of pleasant routines for a long time.

He took the bouquet inside. The scent of lilies and freesia followed him, their fragrance a sweet caress against his senses. He cradled them gently. He began to search for a vase to put them in, a task that was entirely new to him.

He was surprised by how much pleasure he found in the mundane act of selecting a vase, filling it with water, and carefully arranging the blooms. He kept finding himself stopping to gaze at the arrangement, a quiet pleasure settling over him as the light shifted across the room.
