The doorbell chimed, a cheerful little sound that felt like a personal fanfare. Sarah practically skipped to the door, her heart doing a giddy dance in her chest. A delivery man held out a vibrant bouquet – a riot of sunflowers, gerbera daisies, and something that smelled deliciously like cinnamon. Her hand flew to her mouth, stifling a gasp. No card. Just the flowers, a splash of joy in her otherwise ordinary Tuesday. She clutched them to her chest, inhaling the sweet perfume. She couldn't stop smiling, a wide, goofy grin plastered across her face as she backed inside.
