The package, addressed to "Mrs. Clara Bellweather," sat propped against the door. He was just about to toss it when he noticed the delicate script of the return address. It was from a florist. He opened the box to find a bouquet of lilies, still in their water. They were beautiful, filling his small apartment with a sweet fragrance.

He decided he would order flowers for his elderly neighbor. His loneliness started to fade, replaced by a feeling of connection he hadn't experienced since moving to the city. He thought about reaching out to his own estranged family.
