Petals to my Heart

This is a little something I worked on as a gift to my two Queens (you know your selves) and I thought I'd share it with everyone. Hope you all enjoyed the mush.
XOXO

The sunlight just about peeped through the curtains when Iris woke up. It was Valentine's day and she smiled as she turned around hoping to find her husband by her side but Barry wasn't there. Instead, a red envelope rested on his pillow with her name written, in white, across it. She sat up, tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear, and opened it. Inside was a note written in Barry's handwriting and a hand-drawn map with hearts at different points. The note simply said:

Follow the petals and they will lead you to my heart.

"Follow the petals?" Iris remarked confused, then she looked down at her bedroom floor and saw a trail of red rose petals leading to her closet. The trail disappeared into it and reappeared out of it. Excited, Iris leapt out of bed and tiptoed to the closet, she opened it expecting to see Barry but instead, found a cute, red, knee length, off the shoulder summer dress. Attached to it was a note shaped like a red heart and it said,

Red is definitely your colour.

Iris laughed then quickly slipped into the shower and got ready. She did her makeup lightly and fixed her hair, then paired the dress with red pumps and set out to follow the trail. She followed the rose petals down the stairs, into the parking lot and noticed that they just passed her car.
"Guess I'm driving to your heart Barry," she said, unlocking it and stepping in. The rose petals carried on over the road and Iris began to ask herself why the streets were so quiet. There wasn't a soul in sight. She pushed the thought to the back of her head as she recognised the street the petals lead her down. They stopped at the door to her dad's house and taped to it she saw yet another heart. She got out of the car and made her way to the note. This one said,

Here lies the first piece of my heart because this was our first home together, and it was on these very steps that we shared our very first kiss. (Well at least the first we can both remember.)

Iris chuckled and her eyes glistened slightly as she remembered the night Barry came to live with them. She remembered holding out her hand to a shocked little boy and trying to reassure him that everything was going to be OK. She remembered holding him as he cried that night, only to realise years later that, that was the night they fell in love. She turned to the porch and thought about their first kiss. The night she finally admitted it to herself and to him that he was the one for her, the man she was destined to love. With the note clutched tightly to her chest, she walked back to her car and carried on, on her rosy way.

The next stop was Jitters. Again, not a single soul was in sight yet, on the counter was a cup of coffee, a chocolate brownie and another heart. She sat down and sipped on her Chai Latte as she read the note.

Here's a piece of my heart and a sweet treat. This was the first place I came to when I woke up, where my powers first acted out, and where we, together created the Flash.

Yet again her eyes filled with tears as she remembered her clandestine rendezvous with The flash on the rooftop. She looked up and felt a tug at her heart so she made her way up there. The scenery, as always was breathtaking and she noticed that another heart was taped to the balcony.

I didn't think you needed a trail to find your way here. This is where I first talked to you as The Flash, and all though I wore a mask, I knew that you could see right through it, to me.
