FROM HIRAETH TO RHAPSODY

FRIENDLY INVITATION (12)

- ' Okay....so...I've chose green, white and blue as the theme colour of the photoshoot and you know the theme already. '
Lisa nodded in agreement
- ' Yup. Nature and forest. '
- ' Exactly. Now...what should be the flowers? '
- ' Green...white...and blue right? '
- ' That's it. '
- ' Okay..wait a bit. I'll be back soon. And till then, have this.'
Lisa pushed the plate full of freshly made almond biscuits towards Jennie who smilingly took one. Lisa's dishes are her second favourite now, the top place saved for her eldest brother.

After a while, Lisa came back with a bunch of fresh flowers in her hands.

- ' Here you go. Look at these beauties and tell me if you like them or not. '
- ' Please elaborate their names and meanings, Miss. '
Lisa rolled her eyes smilingly
- ' Sure, pretty customer! '
Jennie looked up at the florist and gave a genuine smile, which Lisa returned before describing the flowers.
- ' Okay..so first, we have green roses which represents hope and optimism.'
- ' Aren’t these rare? '
- ' Yup they are. Second comes blue hydrangea. They stand for gratitude and understanding. '
- ' Wonderful they are. '
- ' Third is blue orchids. This means beauty and uniqueness. '
- ' Wow! They really are beautiful. '
- ' And then we have white jasmine. They signifies sweet love. '
- ' Perfect! Every single one is beautiful and very meaningful. Finalise them. '
Lisa gave a bright smile
- ' Gladly! '
- ' Now pack your bags Lisa. We're going to Norway in 4 days. '
- ' Only if you're helping me. '
Jennie raised her eyebrows in confusion
- ' Uh...sorry? '
- ' You're meeting Liam and Emila tomorrow...and as far as I'm concerned, you don’t have much to do  today evening. '
- ' So..? '
- 'So come to my house and help me. '
- ' Me?!'
- ' Obviously! The shop is empty and I don’t see anyone else. '
Jennie stared at the florist for a moment before answering
- ' But.. how can I help? I...don't know anything.. '
- ' I'm pretty sure you can help enough. '
Lisa noticed that Jennie was still hesitating, so she said in a soft voice
- ' We're not connected through works only. Remember the first day we met? I genuinely wanted to meet the sister of those amazing brothers and that's why I went to your house. We're neighbours, we're friends. If I can go to your house, then what's wrong in you coming to mine?And by help,I mean just come to my house and tell me how's it. '
Jennie couldn’t argue more. Lisa was saying facts only. Jennie looked up at the unsure girl infront and smiled
- ' I...didn’t mean it like that. I'm actually a very private persson and don't usually go to other's places. But...when you put it like that....I guess.. I can go. '
- ' Thaaaaank you! '
- ' But one condition. '
Lisa's face fall at that and she said with a pout
- ' What? '
Jennie tried her best to not laugh at that pouty face
- ' Only if you're having dinner tonight with us, in my house. '
- ' Of course! I love your house and your brothers. And obviously the youngest member! He's the cutest. '
Jennie laughed and Lisa joined her.
- ' You should smile often. That is far more beautiful than your usual grumpy face. '
Jennie stopped laughing and looked at Lisa, who was smiling at her mischievously.
- ' Then you should say sweet nonsenses often, too. That is what makes me smile. '
- ' If that means I would get to see this smile, trust me, I would. '

Jennie couldn’t react. She said that teasingly and didn’t even think about getting an answer like that. But something felt different in Lisa's tone. Like...she's not teasing at all and really meant it.

- ' What Miss Kim? Now come with me. We're going to my place. '

With that, she got up and dragged Jennie along, who was confused, amazed....and maybe a bit impressed all in one.

Jennie has an invitation! But how will it go?
