The vibrant colors of the gladioli burst from the cardboard box. Her hands were shaking as she lifted them out. No name, no hint, just these stunning, upright flowers. A thrill coursed through her, so electric, so vibrant.

She found herself humming as she cleaned the vase. She wanted everything to be perfect. She arranged the flowers, moving them here and there until they were precisely right. Her fingers gently touched the silky petals, and she felt a warmth spreading through her body.

She glanced at her phone constantly, as if expecting it to ring or vibrate. She felt a giggle burst from her lips and she spun around the room, feeling like she could conquer the world. The world seemed a better place.
