I was standing to go when I caught her gaze darting from me to the roses I’d forgotten all about. Her dark eyes lingered there before guiltily returning to me, and I watched her bite her lip when she caught me watching her. “Are those…are you those for me?” I wordlessly nodded, and she hesitated for a moment before walking over to them. I watched her lift them to her nose and sniff before smiling. “They’re beautiful, Owen. Thank you.”
