"Well, this is a surprise," Emily murmured, her voice barely a whisper. A florist had just given her a vibrant arrangement of peonies and hydrangeas. No card. The gesture was a gift, a promise. She felt like she could fly.

She buried her face in the soft petals, inhaling the delicate scent. Her fingers trembled as she placed the flowers in a large, crystal vase. She placed the flowers on the piano, and sat down at the keys, playing her favorite song. The music seemed to fill the room with sunshine.
