the scorching point at the abyss of my abdomen built up whenever he was nearby. i was anxious. i even started misremembering to sprinkle water on some of my plants because of mr. rose, and it was terrifying. i've never admired someone more than my flowers.

i have never cherished someone. mr. rose was the first personality i've relished, and i don't even know his name.

here he was!

"hey, mr. rose," i said, that now being my customary salutation.

"hey. i got a comment yesterday from someone saying they knew who i was."

"you got a comment? hey, you must be pretty famous around here," i said, dressing his roses.

"i wonder if they know me by a name."

i smiled at him. "of course they do. you're mr. rose!"

he grasped the roses from me and gave me the dollar bill. "you must be right, i am mr. rose."

my heart trembled as he shuffled out the door.

mr. rose was an iris flower, illuminating and iridescent, even in the moonlight.
