I Brought You Flowers

The future he had so carefully envisioned vanished, replaced by a nightmare he couldn't wake up from.

Raine was gone.

"I Brought You Flowers" is a story of love in the face of unimaginable loss, a heart-wrenching exploration of grief, guilt, and the enduring power of memory. Ollie's world is irrevocably broken, the vibrant colors of his life muted to shades of gray. The restaurant, once a symbol of hope and new beginnings, becomes a monument to his shattered dreams. The lilies, meant to be a symbol of his love for his Raine, now feel like a cruel mockery of his happiness.

The flowers he bought for her, now a symbol of his grief, become a focal point of his despair. He clutches them, their delicate petals a stark contrast to the harsh reality of his loss. They are a tangible connection to Raine, a reminder of her beauty, her grace, and her vibrant spirit. But they are also a constant reminder of what he has lost, a symbol of the future that will never be.

This is not just a story about death; it's a story about the enduring power of love, even in the face of unimaginable tragedy. It's about the journey of navigating grief, the agonizing process of piecing together a life shattered into a million fragments.
Ollie's journey is one of profound sorrow, but also one of unexpected self-discovery. He is forced to confront not only the pain of losing Raine, but also the guilt that gnaws at his soul, the what-ifs that haunt his waking hours, and the unspoken words that now echo in the silence between them.
The words he longed to say to his Raine.
