She found them as she was leaving for work. A single, perfect orchid, its delicate petals a shade of the softest pink. No message, only the flower. She smiled, a genuine expression lighting up her face.

She decided to work from home that day, so she could tend to it. She sat by it, watching the sunlight play across it. It was a good day.
