The doorbell rang. Sarah, her shoulders slumped, opened the door to a delivery man holding a bouquet of lilies. He recited the inscription. "To Mrs. Davies, thank you for everything." Sarah just signed the slip, not even bothering to look.

The next day, she found the lilies beginning to wilt. She threw them away, a quiet sigh escaping her lips.
