"Flowers? For me?" Emily shrieked, a giggle escaping as she signed for the delivery. The delivery person chuckled and departed, leaving Emily with a bouquet of mixed blooms, tied with a satin ribbon. No message. She felt her feet practically lift off the ground.

She clutched the flowers to her chest, her heart doing a happy little dance. She decided, on the spot, that today was a day for grand gestures. She would wear the most flamboyant outfit in her closet and treat herself to something extravagantly delicious.

She placed the flowers on the counter and began to rummage through her wardrobe, her mind racing with ideas, feeling as light as a feather. She couldn't stop smiling. She had a wonderful urge to sing.
