Courtney's POV

1 Month Later

7:00 PM

Thankfully I just caught the bus 🚌 that could take me home, it's nice not having to walk home late, especially with the November winter ❄️ air.

I swear it feels colder this year than other times.

Sighing heavily I feel tired and stressed from everything occurring I'm not sure if it was the semester ending soon, the pile of homework and reports or how worried I am if I can go back next semester.

I hated thinking about it, but whenever I did I got this twist in my stomach. I went and applied for a scholarship again, if I can get it then I should be set til I finish school.

Pulling my locket out I smile while opening it, seeing Mom and Dad's pictures was both happy and sad, even though I know they were watching over me; at times I wish they were still here, but what I don't get at times is why would Dad of lied to me?

What was he doing?

His debts are so high I can barely make the minimum payments and with everything else I've got on my plate, it's for that reason why I'm struggling. But, I've come this far.

I can get through this.

The bus slowly stopped and I realized I was in my neighbourhood, I guess I was too occupied with my thoughts to notice.

I gotta admit since this transit program started lots of students found it very convenient and were thankful to Stone Trade Corporation for arranging this.

Feeling my face warm up I still couldn't believe Duncan owner of the same corporation sent me flowers. I mean it's crazy and boy did Heather go crazy when I told her. The reaction she gave was over the top.

* FLASHBACK *

My apartment

( Same day I got the flowers )

Before leaving work I called Heather to tell her what happened today and when I mentioned the flowers she hung up and rushed right over to my place.

" No way, " she says looking at the flowers I had put in a vase with water and currently on my coffee table, " I told you, " I said sitting on my couch looking at them.

Heather then read the card followed by smiling " Courtney this is amazing " she said before sitting in the armchair "What do you mean? " I asked bracing myself for whatever she was about to say.

" The most eligible bachelor has his eyes on you...think about it...coming to the diner twice...defending you...and now sending expensive flowers to you " explains Heather looking mischievous at me "If those aren't signs saying he likes you then I don't know what is " she adds.

I blush hearing all the conclusions.

Could Heather be right? Does Duncan like me?

" Do you think so? " I asked nervously " Yes I mean it's not every day you get flowers that value a monthly car payment " replies Heathers.

Making me sit up fast my eyes open up " No way...are you serious!!! " I exclaim looking at the peonies " Yeah I mean this logo on the card is from a very high-end flower company known for their elaborate arrangements from simple to extreme," said Heather smiling.
