One Last Look

06 - Flowers

12:48 PM

Lily couldn't believe it. How well she slept - it was already noon! But that wasn't all.
No bad-hair day, no puffy eyes, and most importantly, well rested. After the past few days, that's what she needed most.

The first thing Lily checked was her phone. She was almost happy when she found and got a text from Richard.

Good morning Lil'.
Hope you have a great
day at work x

It was only those three lines, and Lily smiled to herself - morning texts were the best things ever invented.

After daydreaming again, she realised it's monday again and had a photoshoot to take in about five hours.

It was Holliday's (Grainger) birthday today as well. So Lily decided to go to the florist, get a bouquet of flowers and perhaps reunite their friendship, after not seeing her for about five months.

Since Lily was in such a good mood, she wore a stylish black cape over, pulled her hair into a high bun and applied some soft makeup. When you feel good, you look good, and she did.

It was a cool Monday afternoon as Lily walked out onto the street to the nearby flower shop. It felt really refreshing to sort of go out for a walk especially after a great rest.

After a short drive, Lily got out of the car and took a 'tumblr' picture of the flower shop's front look. Richard might be proud of me for taking this great photo, Lily thought to herself, thinking about the times they had being photogenic and all.

It almost felt silly about how well Lily knows Richard; sure, they were the best of friends but they knew the little things and it wasn't memorized; it was already in their heads.

Lily entered the shop and as she swung open the door, she was more than surprised to see Matt standing and holding a handful of flowers he picked. Both of their eyes widened and without hesitation, greeted each other quickly (at the exact same time!) in a friendly manner to hide their shock.

Millons of questions stormed through Lily's mind as soon as she set eyes on Matt.

Who are these flowers for?
How is this possible?
What is he doing here?
Why is he getting flowers?
Are these for Holliday as well?

Or things like...

Are these for him to apologise for what he did to me?

Things were happening in real-time and all these thoughts lasted only a millisecond.

After that awkward meeting, Lily approached Matt and started chatting before she could move on. Obviously she can't go straight away and ignore him... or can she?

So Lily kept to her motto.
Have courage and be kind.

"Hello, Matt."
