Hey everyone!
Since It's Nice To Have A Friend is coming to its end (there are 54 chapters total, so it really is almost over...) I wanted to post a tease for my upcoming story: Bumblebee.
This one has really turned into a passion project and feels to me like the spring/summer sister to The Man Who Never Speaks. There is a big floral theme that I really love and where I really dove into symbolism of flowers. I'm really proud with how it has turned out so far. Here you can read the synopsis!
**
She still sees him. She still talks to him.
Alice works in her garden every single day, after having devoted her life to the flowers she grows and sells in her floral shop. It all leads back to the first day of spring twenty five years ago, when she was forced by her husband to give up her son Charles.
Even when all she knows is that her son never made it to his first birthday, it doesn't stop her from seeing him. He comes to Alice in her garden, the only place she still feels safe. However, when Hal finds out she has been repeatedly cheating on him, he destroys the one thing that means the most to her, the one thing that connects her to her son. He kills her garden.
And as if faith decided it, her high school lover and real father of Charles stands in her floral shop soon after, when they haven't seen each other since they parted ways at barely eighteen years old. Will she ever be able to explain what her flowers mean and why she ran away from him at eighteen? Or would she lose him for a second time just like she lost Charles?

I wish I could do it more justice in the synopsis, but you'll see once I start posting it! It's a story that makes me really excited to write. Hopefully that will come across! Will post soon after It's Nice To Have A Friend is done <3
