He gave me peonies on the fifth day.
Today was the first day
that I truly anticipated the arrival of the flowers.
I woke up early in the morning to see if Luke
would drop by. But he didn't.
And I was deeply confused.
I stepped inside my home for a few minutes,
Grabbing some toast to munch on while I waited.
As soon as I came back, however,
A flower pot of peonies was in my place.
I ran out into the driveway and looked around,
But no one was there. I shrugged it off
And took my flowers inside.
The note simply read:
Dear Parker,
I hope that these gifts have sparked
A sense of inquisitiveness in you.
I'd like you to know that I grow these flowers myself.
I water them, tend to them. Make them all pretty
for your eyes to see.
I write these notes too.
--Luke.
Wow. Did he really do all of this by himself?
My assumption was that he bought them
from the florist downtown and scrawled down a note.
But he truly put a lot of consideration into these.
I had to find a way to repay him.
A/N: next chapter is gonna be a long one :)
