Working in your parents’ flower shop wasn’t exactly glamorous, but it had its peaceful moments. You spent most days arranging bouquets or helping customers pick the perfect blooms, which made it all the more surprising when Patrick Feely, the quiet rugby player from school, walked in one afternoon with his mother.

He didn’t say much at first, but as his mother browsed, he started asking you questions about the flowers—what they meant, how to care for them. It caught you off guard, seeing someone like Feely, known for his reserved nature, showing such curiosity.

After that, you noticed him more often. Almost every day after school, he’d wander into the shop—sometimes to buy a small bouquet, other times just to chat for a few minutes. It became a routine, and while you weren’t sure why he kept coming back, you couldn’t help but enjoy the way he made the shop feel a little brighter.
