With his dying efforts of proving that he had changed,
Renée's trust and devotion in her husband went up in flames.
He made he some coffee, because he knew every morning its the first thing she would drink;
But to his surprise, she made her own cup and poured his down the sink.
She went jogging early Tuesday, and got herself a rash,
He bought her some flowers, and she threw them in the trash.
For the first in a long while, towards his wife Mike drew near,
But Renée sought comfort and attention elsewhere.
"I gotta get back to work now, my lunch ends in 10 minutes"
Renée replied
"Actually, this little brunch was really nice, we should do it again sometime"
Brandon replied
"Brunch? Is that what this was?"
Renée asked
"Yeah, I'm on break,
you're on lunch, so Brunch"
Brandon replied
Renée chuckled
"Or I mean, if you wanna take it further, I'd love to take you to dinner."
Brandon added
"Mr. Hendricks, You wont let it go will you?"
Renée asked
"No, I won't; and please, call me Brandon" Brandon replied
"Okay Brandon. I'll consider it."
Renée replied
"Well, you have my card,
don't hesitate to give me a call."
He replied
"Maybe I will"
She chuckled
"Looking forward to it."
He replied
"See you, whenever I do"
Renée laughed
"Oh, you'll be seeing me sooner than you think, maybe outside your window with a boom box "
Brandon added
"What is this, 1989 Say Anything"?
Renée asked
"It can be"
He replied
"Goodbye Brandon"
She responded
"She willingly said my name, that's a first." He commented
On her way back to the office, she shook her head and smiled,
Her co-workers has never seen her so happy, in such a long while.
Heading over to her office, knowing she would be typing for hours,
She was elated to see on her desk, a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Tagged on a stem was a had written note,
So impactful, to her heart it spoke-
"Just wanted you to know, that I had an amazing time, I hope these flowers brighten your day, as your presence brightened mine."
Renée smiled wider than the vast blue seas, Her heart fell like leaves from the trees.
She worked in a great mood for the rest of the day,
with the little appreciation; she received in the form of a bouquet.
~At the Police Station~
"Tom, this is not working out;
not one bit!!!!"
Mike exclaimed
