The phone rang, and when Eleanor answered, the delivery was for her. A stunning arrangement of orchids, the exotic blooms a vivid splash of color against her muted dΓ©cor. No name. Her jaw dropped slightly. A laugh bubbled up from within her, unexpectedly and joyfully.

She took the orchids carefully, her fingers tracing the delicate petals. Her apartment felt different already, charged with a strange, new energy. She began rearranging furniture, searching for the perfect location, feeling lighter than air.

She found herself walking around the apartment, smiling at the flowers and at herself. It was like something had suddenly clicked into place, some missing piece of a puzzle had been found.
