the vines flourishing in my lungs didn't seem to trouble me as greatly as the resident behaved as it would. while i could sense myself fighting to breathe ordinarily, mr. rose was a breathtaking personage himself.
"hey, mr. rose!" i said, addressing him more passionately than i had always done. i needed to supply him with consideration, surely? he would at least regard me if i was solicitous of him.
"hello. thirteen roses, please?"
"sure. how'd it go yesterday?" i asked, moving to get his roses and promptly arrive back.
"well, um, she asked me out on a second date on monday."
i grinned. "where are you going?"
"we're eating lunch together." mr. rose replied, fiddling with his thumbs. i repressed my grimace.
"it seems like you're really excited about it," i stated.
"yes, uh, yeah, i am," he responded, taking the roses and handing me a twenty. "thank you."
"no problem, mr. rose," i answered, waving at him as he disappeared.
he may not relish me, or even identify who i am, however, i cherish him, and my survival depends on it. i just want him to know my name.
