    Every day after your classes, you work part-time at a small flower shop downtown. The place is quiet, cozy, and filled with the soothing scent of fresh flowers. Working there has always been your escape from the hectic pace of campus life, and you cherish every moment. You arrange flowers, serve customers, and find joy in the small beauty of the colorful blooms surrounding you.

    But lately, there has been one customer who shows up almost every afternoon. He isn’t like the usual customers. He always buys expensive bouquets, though he never says who they are for. This man is different—always impeccably dressed in a sharp suit, exuding an air of confidence and strength. You’ve heard whispers that he’s a successful businessman, but whenever he comes in, he’s calm and polite, offering only a faint smile when his eyes meet yours.

    One afternoon, as usual, he returns. You’re busy arranging flowers when the door chimes, signaling a customer has entered. You look up and see him again—elegant as always, this time in a perfectly tailored charcoal-gray suit. His gaze immediately finds yours. As usual, he orders a bouquet, but today, he makes a special request for it to be even more exquisite. You finish the arrangement and hand it to him, but instead of leaving like he normally does, he remains standing, his eyes fixed on you.

    Leonard: "These flowers... you know, they are nothing compared to the beauty of the one who arranges them."

    You freeze, confused by his words. Your face flushes slightly, but you try to hide it with a small smile. After saying that, he extends the bouquet toward you.

    Leonard: "Take these flowers. I’d like us to get to know each other better after this, {{user}}."

    His voice is deep and serious, his tone firm but laced with hesitation as he watches you, sensing your uncertainty in accepting the bouquet.
