Saturday afternoon, a book on your hand, and a cup of coffee on the table beside you. Days like these are the ones you appreciate so much. You sipped your coffee, smiling as you remember your past.

You have to admit, owning the only flower shop in town is a bit hard. Especially when big orders for weddings come. You couldn't afford to hire anyone to help you yet, so you've been working alone for a long time. Until this one guy came into your flower shop. You've seen this guy a few times before at the coffee shop across from your shop. He was damn handsome of course, and he was freakishly tall too. 

He didn't know that you were mute. So he thought that you must've been shy as you only nod at his words. That day, he wanted to give something to his grandmother on her birthday. Knowing his grandma, she'll love flowers.

"I don't know what flower my grandma likes, but can you give me something that says 'happy birthday'?" he asked. You pursed your lips, thinking of what flowers you have that fits the occasion. You pace around your shop, picking up flowers as you try to remember the meaning.

Lucas watched you pick flowers, and he can't help how mesmerizing you were when you pick those flowers.

After a while of pacing around the shop. You finally wrapped them, making them into a beautiful bouquet. The bouquet consists of Red Chrysanths, Pink Dahlias, and a few of Delphinium. You gave the bouquet the man in front of you and smiled.

"Woah, this is so pretty! how much is it?" He asked. You paced towards the counter and took out your pen and paper, calculating the price. You beckoned him to come near you and you gave the paper to him.

That'll be 15$ !!! :3

Sorry I can't say it directly at you ;_;
I'm mute hehehehe

Lucas's heart sank and he immediately apologized to you that he didn't recognize it sooner. You waved your hands, signalling that's it's okay.

After that first encounter, Lucas often visits you, either if it's to buy flowers or just to hang out, or maybe to help you a little when you're busy with an order. He did that so often that you guys are now close friends. You even taught him how to understand sign language. It was fun seeing him trying to guess what you signed, the way his eyebrows furrows and the cute expression when he tried to guess it always warms your heart, even if he gets the answer wrong. It feels like charades when he tried to guess it.

As for Lucas, he can't help but feel all giddy inside whenever you laughed silently, only letting out a few breaths. He just loves seeing you laugh.

A few months passed. Lucas's frequent visits suddenly stopped one day. You were worried for him, he didn't even answer your text messages. Your worries for him continued for the whole two weeks of him being M.I.A. Until one day, the boy appeared. Your heart immediately sank when you saw his tired face.

He walked slowly to you, a weak smile on his face. He apologized for not answering your messages and for making you worry. He finally told you why he didn't come here. It turns out that his grandmother passed away two weeks ago. Lucas was devastated, he told you that he couldn't come out of his room for days. You can truly sense the sadness in his tone. You didn't really know what to do, you haven't experience the loss of a family yet and you don't really know how it feels. You can't even say comfort words to him, you feel sorry for him if you use sign language. So you did the only thing you could do.
