The doorbell rang, startling Amelia from her quiet morning of reading. Expecting a delivery, she opened the door to find a delivery man handing her a magnificent arrangement of lilies. Their intoxicating perfume filled the entryway. No card. Just the flowers, a sudden burst of beauty. Her eyes widened, and a smile stretched across her face.

She felt a surge of energy, a sudden urge to clean, to organize, to fill her small apartment with even more life. She rushed to the kitchen, seeking a vase. The colors were so vivid, the petals so perfect. She grabbed her phone, deciding to take a picture and share it with her friends. It was a good day. It just had to be.
