The day had been a series of disappointments. Then the doorbell rang. He opened the door, and a cascade of joy rushed through him. A bouquet of sweet peas. No card.

Sweet peas! He could almost smell their delicate fragrance now. He would put them on his dresser. He needed to find a vase.

He felt a spark of happiness he hadn't experienced in weeks. His step lightened as he turned back into the apartment. The world was suddenly more vibrant.

He pulled out a vase, a wide smile spreading across his face. He’d never felt so giddy.
