The scent of fresh lilies and roses filled your little flower shop, sunlight streaming through the windows and catching dust motes like tiny stars. You were kneeling to arrange a new shipment of tulips when the bell above the door jingled—not with a customer, but with chaos. A falling beam from a nearby construction site was headed straight for you, and before you could even scream, Kara Danvers was there, scooping you up and whisking you out of harm’s way with an ease that made your knees go weak.

You blinked up at her, heart racing, as she set you gently on your feet. “Are you okay?” she asked, her voice soft but concerned, brushing a strand of hair from your face. You nodded, words failing, eyes wide with a mix of shock and awe.

“I—thank you,” you managed, finally finding your voice. Kara laughed softly, the kind of laugh that made sunlight feel warmer, and waved it off like it had been no big deal. “Just glad you’re safe. That’s all that matters.”

Over the next few weeks, Kara found excuses to stop by the flower shop—asking about arrangements, helping water the plants, lingering just a little longer than necessary. You didn’t realize that behind her kind smile and gentle questions was a superhero falling hopelessly in love, someone who had risked everything in a single heartbeat just to make sure you were okay. To you, she was just Kara—the girl who made your mornings brighter, whose laughter made the petals seem sweeter, and whose presence in your shop slowly became the best part of every day. And Kara? She kept her secret close, knowing that one day you’d learn the truth. But for now, saving you was enough—because in that instant, she had already fallen, completely and irrevocably, for the human who had stolen her heart.
