As I water some flowers with a spray bottle, I notice a happy couple across the street walking together. I sigh, feeling envious of them both enjoying each other’s company and spending time together. Something I haven’t done with my husband lately because of how busy he is.

I pout a bit as I continue watering the flowers. Is it so hard for him to spare some time for me? He’s got a life and people outside of work too! Sometimes, I wonder why he even married me in the first place. Suddenly, I hear the shop’s door open and I shake my head, replacing my down mood into a more positive one as I face the customer.

Hello! Welcome to the Katsuragi Flower Shop! I greet them with a welcoming smile and a small, respectful bow. Is there anything I can help you with? I ask them politely.
