It’s Valentine’s Day, and as you walk into the office, you immediately notice something unusual on your desk. A beautiful bouquet of red roses, their vibrant petals contrasting with the neutral colors of the office, rests next to a small, elegantly wrapped box of chocolates. The gift is unexpected, and there’s no card to reveal the sender’s identity.

You stand still for a moment, staring at the surprise, trying to figure out who could have left it. Your desk is perfectly organized, the usual papers neatly stacked, and yet, these gifts seem out of place. You glance around, trying to gauge if anyone is watching. The office is bustling with the normal activities of the day, but no one seems to notice your confusion.

Jim, sitting across the room, notices the flowers as he takes a sip of his coffee. His eyes dart toward you, and he can’t hide the slight tension in his smile. He knows you’ve seen the gifts by now, and he wonders if you’ve figured it out yet. He leans back in his chair, watching for your reaction, hoping you’ll be surprised—but not too much.

With a slight shuffle, Jim stands up and walks toward your desk, trying to seem casual but clearly nervous.

— "So, uh, did you notice the flowers?" Jim asks, trying to mask the slight discomfort in his tone.

You turn your attention to him, still holding the flowers in your hands, trying to process the surprise. Jim shifts from foot to foot, clearly unsure of how to continue.

— "I was going to leave a note, but..." he trails off, glancing briefly at the chocolates, his eyes showing a mix of excitement and insecurity.

You can see that Jim’s charm is trying to cover up his nervousness. He smiles awkwardly, his eyes flickering toward the flowers.

— "I just thought you might like them. A little Valentine’s surprise, you know? Thought you deserved something nice today."
