~ THE LANGUAGE OF FLOWERS ~

[blimey]

"The following Saturday, I arrived at Bloom just after midnight. I had fallen asleep in my garden with my back against a redwood, keeping watch, and I bolted awake at the sound of approaching laughter. It was a band of drunken young men this time. The nearest, an overgrown boy with hair past his chin, smiled at me as if we were lovers meeting at a prearranged location. I avoided his eyes and walked quickly to the nearest streetlamp, then down the hill to the flower shop.

While I waited I applied deodorant and gel, then paced the clock, forcing myself to stay awake. By the time Renata's truck turned up the street, I had checked my reflection in parked car mirrors twice and re-ordered my clothing three times. Even with all of this, I knew I was beginning to look and smell like a street person. "
