   " L/n, it's time for your lunch break. "

   " Thanks for letting me know. "

You stood up from your desk and grabbed your purse. You started walking towards the elevator when you spotted Luz walking out of the resting area. She had black sunglasses on and her clothes were disheveled. She walked up to you and leaned her head on your shoulder.

   " Y/n, thank you for helping me last night. "

   " Anytime. Next time don't drink on a work night. "

   " Got it. "

She left your side and walked to her desk. You walked to the elevator and hit the ground floor button. When you reached the ground floor you left the elevator and saw Mrs. Shim, the secretary, as you left. You smiled and waved at her as you left. When you left the building the warm rays hit your body and warmth filled you.

You started walking away from the building and towards the corner. When you reached the corner you kept walking until you reached a sandwich shop. You walked inside and ordered your usual sandwich. You sat at a table in the corner by the window and started eating your food. You planned to eat light today so you could make it to the flower shop.

You finished and started walking away from the sandwich shop. You started making your way towards the corner. When you reached the corner you saw the same flower shop from last night. This time it was open and the lights were on. You looked at the sign above the shop and read the name of the flower shop.

   ' The Flower Corner? It seems like a nice place. '

You walked to the store and stood out front. There were flowers displayed all around the outside of the shop. You walked inside and saw a few people around. there were many types of flowers and they were all organized by color. You also noticed a small section with plant seeds.

   " Hi, welcome to the Flower cor-"

You looked at the counter and saw a man standing there. He was a foot taller than you and he had white hair with light green eyes. His skin tone was fair and the smile that decorated his face was gone. Now he held a face of wonder. His eyes sparkled as they looked at you and his mouth hung open a little.

   ' She's beautiful. ' Malcolm thought.

You walked up to him and waved your hand in front of his face. He shook his head and snapped out of the daydreaming state he was in.

   " I-I'm sorry. I lost my thought. "

   " It's okay. "

   " As I was saying. Welcome to the Flower Corner shop. My name is Malcolm. "

   " I'm Y/n. "

   " What a beautiful name. "

   " Thanks. "

   " Is there anything you're looking for specifically? "

   " Not really. I'm looking for some flowers to replace the old ones on my desk at work. "

   " Well, is there any color you would want? "

   " Well, I would like something pink. "

   " Please, follow me. "

You did as he asked and followed him to the section of flowers that were pink. There were a lot of pink flowers and he stood in the middle of the section.

   " This is where the pink flowers are. "

   " Okay, I'll look through here. Thank you, Malcolm. "

   " If you need anything just yell. "

   " Alright. "

He left the aisle and left you to stand alone in the aisle of pink. He secretly stood behind the section to the left and watched your every move. He watched as you scanned all of the flowers. You felt eyes on your back but when you turned around and looked through the aisle no one was there.

   ' Weird. '

You walked to some pink roses and picked one up. You smelled the rose and a smile decorated your face. The smile decorated your face like a baker decorating a cake. It held happiness and elegance. You picked up four more pink roses and walked to the front.

You waited for Malcolm to come to the counter. Malcolm saw you head to the counter and he walked up to the counter as soon as you got there.

   " How much? "

   " U-Umm five dollars. "

   " Alright. "

You held your wallet in your hand and pulled out five dollars. You handed it to him and he took it from you. The bill was folded so when he took it from you your fingers touched and a blush spread along his cheeks.

   " Thank you. Come again. "

   " I definitely will. "

You walked out of the shop and towards your workplace. Malcolm ran to the window and watched you walk away with the pink roses in your hands.

   ' Pink roses symbolize happiness. She must be happy today. The smile that was on her face was beautiful. I hope she comes back soon. '

Malcolm left the window and walked back to his counter and daydreamed about you for the rest of the day. The customers noticed a cheerful smile on his face when he helped them. His smile lit up the whole shop and when customers asked him why he was so happy he would reply,

   " I just met the love of my life. "
