The courier had gone, leaving a magnificent display of irises and freesia. Michael picked up the floral arrangement, feeling a giddy energy bubbling up inside. No message, only the stunning beauty of the flowers. He felt like he could take on the world.

He carried the flowers carefully into his living room, a smile plastered on his face. He found the perfect vase and carefully arranged the flowers, taking his time to ensure each bloom was perfectly displayed. He then poured a glass of wine and sat down in his favorite chair, gazing at the flowers, a deep sense of contentment washing over him.
