Every week, he goes to a different florist in his city, and buys a different kind of flower, trying to find what looks and smells best. On this occasion, however, he struggles to find one that fits his vibe for the week. Seeing his struggle, the young florist walks up.
"Hi!" She says with a chipper smile. "I'm Christine! What are you looking for?"
Steve is awestruck. To him, this woman is more beautiful and smells livelier than any flower in the store- she has flowing red hair, piercing green eyes, and of course she has her own business and also shares a love of flowers. He would be remiss not to take his shot, and he asks her on a date. She blushes.
"Most of the men I meet at work are buying flowers for the ladies in their lives! It's nice to be the lady for once!" They arrange a date and a time, and steve leaves without buying his flower.
As the time comes, they go off to a fancy french place, with a 2 Michelin starred chef. They decide to really push the boat out, with a soup starter, she had the chicken, he had the fish, and they shared a huge profriterole sundae for dessert. Satisfied with the evening, they both head home, and agree to meet again.
Thus, they embark on a love affair that goes on for several months. Eventually the time comes for steve to meet Christine's mother, Anette. This woman is a stunning specimen for her age, she looks a lot like her daughter, but has a more mature personality, with time to listen to Steve's problems and help him solve them. She is also incredibly flirty, but of course, he is dating Christine, so they dont actually do anything.
More months go by, and Steve and Anette have built up a lot of flirty tension whenever they are together, and Christine, who has been turning a blind eye, sits them both down.
"I am not a fool, I know you have something going on. You are both very special to me, and I want you to be happy, so if you want to be together, I wont stop you. But..." she turns to Steve. "You need to decide what you want."
In that moment, it struck him. What he has wanted since the beginning was simple:
Chrysanthemum
