Today, I am five weeks old.

That is very old for a snail.

Alfie and I are still happily enjoying each other's company.

The other day though, another flower grew next to Alfie.

He doesn't seem to like the other flower much.

I think he seems nice though.

The new flower introduced himself as Tim.

Tim the flower.

He is a pink flower with white stripes.

He is very pretty (not as pretty as Alfie though).

Tim said he loves to stare at the clouds.

Alfie and I love to do that too!

Tim, Alfie, and I have so much in common!!!

I hope we will be good friends with this new flower.

"Alfie, what do you think of Tim?" I asked him.

He shuffled angrily in response.

"Why don't you like Tim, Alfie?"

He turned away.

I don't know why Alfie is acting like this. Is he jealous?

I would never cheat on him!

He is the best thing that has ever happened to me!

"Alfie, I love you." I said, causing Alfie to blush a deep pink.

He rustled, causing his petals to make a whistling sound. Aww our first exchange of 'I love you's!

   Alfie is such a romantic!
