When Love Kills

He came into Logan's flower shop with obvious tears dried against his cheeks. He had been crying. Logan knew better to pry. The flower arrangement he wanted told him all that he needed to know: "White Lillies, White Carnations, Hydrangea, Larkspur, And Zinnia." Someone in this man's life has passed away and he wanted a bouquet either to place on their face or to give to someone else who is grieving. But he kept coming back. Week after week to the flower shop. Every Sunday became tradition. At promptly one thirty in the afternoon the man would walk in and he would ask for a white carnations. It was only logical to strike up a conversation with such a regular customer. Logan never once contemplated such an outcome as falling in Love.
