The doorbell rang, jerking David from his gloomy state. He opened the door, and there, in the hands of the delivery person, was a stunning arrangement of roses. Red, and perfect. No note. He felt a powerful energy surge through his veins.

He took the flowers, his fingers almost trembling as he did so. He closed the door and turned, a wide smile spreading across his face. He felt like he could run a marathon.

He had been staring at job listings all morning, feeling utterly dejected. But now, with the roses in his hand, his eyes sparkled with newfound purpose. He needed to write a thank you note, *immediately*. To the universe.
