She clutched the bouquet to her chest, her body wracked with silent sobs. The flowers felt heavy, almost unbearable. She stumbled to the couch and collapsed.

She closed her eyes, letting the tears flow. The world around her blurred, and the only thing she could feel was the weight of the flowers and the ache in her heart.
