Looking at the boy who patiently waited, she said, "Am I suppose to tell you something?"
He nodded. "He said you're supposed to say yes or no."
She smiled. "I told him yes."
He beamed and ran outside. In a moment he was back hiding something behind his back. "Close your eyes," he ordered, "And push out the big tray."
She obeyed until he told her to open it gasping at the beautiful white rose in a floral box with baby's breath. There was a card attached with his writing on it. She opened the laundry slot hurriedly and pulled the card off reading it. "THANK YOU."
Warily she looked at the boy. "What if I had said no?"
"He said if you said no so just leave and take this to my Momma."
"What's your name?"
"David."
"How far is two blocks over?' "Down near the school over there. He's been working on two houses at the same time. He said he bought them. One house he tore down and he's building this thick wooden big fence around the both of them."
"Thank you, David." She put the paper in the money slot and he grabbed it. After sticking it deep in his pocket again, he waved and left.
She opened the floral box and smelled the rose. Did he know how expensive roses were this time of year? Of course he did because he paid for it.
