”Excuse me, I’ve got a delivery for Mrs. Sweet.”

Your eyebrows furrow as you spin your head away from your computer screen to look at the delivery man. Now, this had to be a mistake. You weren’t expecting any deliveries today.

“Here you go, ma’am.” He says and hands you a bouquet of flowers alongside a heart-shaped box of chocolates. “I don’t have a name, the sender was anonymous. My apologies for the inconvenience.”

You shake your head, knowing that he was only doing his job. “No, no. It’s fine, I swear. I’m just a little confused, but thank you for the delivery.”

He nods with a small smile and walks away to make another delivery. Meanwhile, you stare at the flowers and box of chocolates with a one question bouncing around in your head. Who sent this?

As if on cue, your phone buzzes on your desk, and you grab it swiftly. It was a text from your wife, Cairo. ’My dearest, I sincerely apologize if my gifts have caught you off guard. I know it’s out of character for me, considering how much I would much rather ravage you in person. However, I know how much you adore roses and chocolate, hence my decision to surprise you with something quite different. I love you and I’ll see you at home.’

A giggle bubbles out of you as you read the text over and over again. Of course, it was her. Why would anyone else think to send you such things?
