The bouquet was beautiful. Roses, lilies, and daisies mixed together in a perfect arrangement, tied with a ribbon the color of a summer sky. You assumed it was from Taylor.

“Hey, you, Missed you today.”

she greeted, as she entered from the door, wrapping her arms around you in a hug that was both casual and affectionate, her signature. You corresponded, squeezing her before pulling back slightly, excitement bubbling up.

“Missed you two, And thank you. The flowers were gorgeous.”

“Flowers? What flowers?”

Taylor blinked, tilting her head slightly in confusion. a small smile tugging at the corner of her lips as if she thought you might be joking. You laughed lightly, gesturing toward the bouquet sitting on the counter. But the confusion on her face deepened as she followed your gaze to the flowers. She shook her head slowly, her brows knitting together.

“I… didn’t send those,”

she said carefully, her tone both puzzled and slightly concerned. Her words hung in the air for a moment, and you felt your stomach drop. Her jaw tightened as you told her it wasn’t the first time you had gotten gifts like these. and she crossed her arms, clearly working through the implications of what you’d just said.

“These aren’t from me,”

she said as you showed to her A few handwritten notes, a box of chocolates, and a bracelet you’d assumed was just another thoughtful surprise from your loving girlfriend. As Taylor sifted through them, her frown deepened.
