Caleb left the florist shop, the Colours of Renewal bouquet, securely in hand, feeling an unexpected sense of hope. The way Jessica's eyes sparkled when she talked about flowers, the gentle way she handled the petals, and the warmth of her smile lingered in his mind.
As he rolled back to his studio, the vibrant colours of the bouquet seemed to match the rhythm of his heart. He couldn't wait to share it with Emily, his friend struggling to find light in her darkness.
Upon arriving, Caleb found Emily sitting by the window, staring blankly outside. He handed her the bouquet, and her eyes widened as she took it in her hands.
"It's beautiful," Emily said, her voice barely above a whisper. "Thank you, Caleb."
Caleb smiled, relieved. "Jessica, the florist, helped me choose the perfect flowers. She's amazing."
Emily's gaze locked onto his. "You like her, don't you?"
Caleb's cheeks flushed. "Maybe. But it's not just that. There's something about her... she understands."
Emily's expression softened. "You deserve someone who understands, Caleb. Someone who sees beyond your chair."
Meanwhile, at the florist shop:
Jessica couldn't shake off the feeling that Caleb had left an indelible mark on her heart. She found herself wondering about his art, his passions, and his story.
As she arranged a new bouquet, her mind wandered to the way Caleb's eyes crinkled at the corners when he smiled. The way his voice sounded, deep and rich, when he spoke about his art.
The doorbell jingled,signalling another customer's arrival. Jessica's heart skipped a beat as she saw a familiar face – Caleb's assistant, Rachel.
"Hi, Jessica! Caleb sent me to pick up some more flowers. He wants to create a piece inspired by your bouquet," Rachel said, her eyes sparkling.
Jessica's hands trembled slightly as she gathered the flowers. "That's amazing! I'd love to see his artwork."
Rachel smiled mischievously. "I think Caleb would love that too. Would you like to visit his studio tomorrow?"
Jessica's heart fluttered. "Yes, I'd love to."
