Hey Ethan!
Rose, my maiden, you scared me.
Nice to know.
Where were you yesterday?
Why, missed me?
Of course not, I was worried to death.
That's cute. I was out with my friends trying to learn to cope with the wraths of the outdoors.
Seems quite serious.
You know it.
Darling, I would never let you get hurt.
Anyways, what'd you do here yesterday?
Well, your mom showed me some of the flowers around the shop and I also got to learn tulips are your favourites.
Uh-huh. Did she mention anything else about me?
She said you loved gardening ever since you were toddler. That's adorable, you know!
I really do love flowers. I feel a deep connection with them, almost as if I know what they're saying, you know? Of course you don't. Sorry, that was so st-
No, no. I think I get you. I felt a deep connection with the maple tree in my backyard, Kevin.
Kevin must be very nice then.
Of course. Kevin's bae.
Flattering.
Anyways, why don't you pick out a single flower for me this time?
If you insist.

These are snowbells. I love these cute flowers.
Quite nice, if I say so myself.
They kind of remind me of mothers. The way they protect their insides is like how mothers protect their children.
That's some deep stuff right there.
Gee, I don't know how to reply to that.
You don't have to.
Okay then. If you're gonna buy these snowballs, they're $1.50 each.
I'll have one.
That'll be $1.50, of course.
Here you go!
This is $3.00.
Keep the change. It's a tip.
For what?
For being so amazing.
Well, okay then. Bye, Ethan!
You too.
I'll never understand this boy.
