The package arrived just as Maya was about to leave for a morning hike. She wasn't expecting anything. Inside the box, nestled among protective tissue paper, lay a bouquet of exotic orchids. The colors were mesmerizing, the blooms intricate and delicate. No note. Just the flowers, a silent, colorful message.

She let out a delighted gasp. The hike could wait. She carried the flowers to the kitchen table, her heart pounding with excited anticipation. Who would send something like this? It was like a little burst of sunshine. A spontaneous burst of joy filled her. She thought about cancelling her plans and staying in.
