The daisies sat on the doorstep, a cheerful mockery of the storm brewing inside her. She scooped them up, her hands clumsy, her mind racing. A simple gesture, a kind thought? Or something else entirely? She searched the immediate area; no one. No card.

The scent of the flowers, cloying and sweet, threatened to overwhelm her. She ripped the paper off of them, and tossed the bouquet to the ground. She took a step back, and kicked at them.
