"Are you done now?"

"No"

I was reading The Sun And Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur and every five minutes Jobe would ask me if I was done reading and I'd reply with a "no" every time. That was basically our conversation for the past two hours.

"I'm bored"

"Well then entertain yourself" I say

"Why would I do that when I have a clown right in front of me?" he grinned and I smack him with the book.

"You must have a honeycomb for a heart, how else could a man be this sweet" I read and give him a flirty wink

"Stop trying to rizz me up" he blushes and looks away

"Do I make you shy babyboy?" I say in my most flirtatious voice

"What has gotten into you?"

"Nothing, on a serious note, did you hear about the new disease"

"There's a new disease?" he questions with wide eyes

"Yeah, it's called handsome and I think that you're infected" I bite my lower lip and eye him down

" That's it, I'm  leaving" he says and stands up

"Okay fine, I'll stop" I say

"Good. I thought I was gonna die of cringe"

"Liar, you were enjoying it, even if you won't admit it" I roll my eyes

"What's the plan for today?"

"I don't know, what do you want to do?"

"I want catch up on some reading but you won't allow me to" I frown

"You can do all your reading when I'm not here, for now we can go work in our flower garden. I'm not in the mood for going out anyway"

"Sounds good to me" I say

J&J blooms - our flower garden, looks better than I thought it would.

"In a two weeks the carnations will bloom into pretty little flowers" she muses

"And I'm sure you can't wait for that to happen, right?"

"Who can? Have you seen how pretty carnations are"

"You're such a dork. My dork" I smile

We water the flowers and do some basic gardening.

"I'm gonna go drink some water, I'll be back in a sec" she says after an hour of gardening

"Okay" I reply

Ten minutes pass and Isie still hasn't returned so I decide to go check up on her.

"Isie" I call out. No response

"Isie, is everything okay? Where are you?" I ask getting inside the house. Still no response.  By now I'm starting to get worried so I rush to the kitchen and and I'm horrified by the scene I encounter...

Isie lies unconscious on the kitchen floor and she doesn't look like she's breathing...
