The package arrived just as Liam had finished his morning yoga routine. He was stretched out on the living room floor, basking in the afterglow of his practice, when the knock came.

He opened the door to find a delivery man holding a box brimming with greenery. No name, no message. Just flowers. A huge bunch of them. He brought them inside, the fresh scent of eucalyptus and lavender filling the air.

He carefully unpacked the stems, placing them in a large, simple vase he'd always meant to use. He then returned to his mat and continued his slow stretches. His breathing deepened, his muscles relaxed, and a profound sense of well-being settled over him.
