The sunlight streaming through the florist shop's window highlighted the vibrant colours of the blooms, filling the air with a sweet fragrance. Jessica carefully arranged a bouquet of sunflowers, their bright yellow petals symbolizing warmth and hope. Soft jazz played in the background, mingling with the scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting from the shop's café area.

As she worked, the doorbell above the entrance jingled, signalling a customer's arrival. Jessica looked up to see Caleb, dressed in a crisp white shirt and tailored black pants, rolling into the shop in his sleek, custom-painted wheelchair. His dark hair was styled perfectly, and his bright blue eyes sparkled as he smiled.

"Hi," Caleb said, his deep voice warm and confident. "I'm looking for something special. A bouquet that captures the essence of renewal."

Jessica's hands trembled slightly as she set aside the sunflowers. "That's beautiful. What's the occasion?"

Caleb's gaze lingered on hers. "A friend's going through a tough time. I want to remind her there's beauty in darkness and that renewal is possible."

As Jessica worked on the bouquet, they chatted effortlessly. Caleb shared stories of his art, from the bold brushstrokes of his abstract paintings to the intricate details of his sculptures. Jessica spoke of her passion for flowers, from the delicate petals of roses to the vibrant colours of tulips.

Jessica carefully selected flowers in shades of soft pink, lavender, mint green, and golden yellow.

As she worked, Caleb watched, mesmerized by her creativity.
