The lilies were the most beautiful bouquet she had ever seen. She brought them inside, the scent filling her small apartment. It was a day when she was overwhelmed by the weight of her worries. There was no card, no explanation, only this vibrant gift.

She began to clean, something she usually put off. She opened the windows. She spent hours doing things that she had been neglecting for far too long. She began to feel, for the first time in weeks, a sense of lightness. She felt happy.
