FEATURING LUCAS CONNOLLY
location: flor amor with: open @charmingstarterā
Twelve minutes was the amount of time heād had been left alone with the little flower shop while the owner was out funning an errand. It will be fine they said I wonāt be gone more than ten minutes. Yet here he was having to answer a phone call with absolute zero plant knowledge other than green was the basic color of most plants and flowers could be any. He was currently arguing, or discussing rather, the validity of Queen Anneās Lace being a flower and if they sold any in bouquets. If you asked Lucas heād have told her that was fake news but the woman on the other end of the line was quite insistent. Now hearing the ding of the bell attached to the front door to alert staff someone had come in, he raised a pointed finger up towards the person entering to signal heād be a moment.Ā āYou know I donāt know if we can make a birthday cake out of those because itās like a flower and not food, but why donāt we get back to you.ā Scribbling down the name and contact information of the woman on the other end and hanging up shortly after.
āSorry about that, did you know thereās a flower called queen anneās lace? Spoiler alert, doesnāt look like lace at all.ā Looking up now to see whoād entered.Ā
Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Once a week Trinity came into Flor Amor, to buy flowers for her mother. It was a small gesture, but it was Trinityās way of showing her mother that she was appreciated. The flowers varied from a single sunflower to a bouquet, all depending on what she had to spend after all the bills were paid. Usually she and the owner had a good rapport going, exchanging smiles and pleasantries, as well as talking about what the different flowers symbolized and represented. Everything Trinity knew about flowers, she had learned from her weekly visits. This time when she walked into the shop though, she was greeted by a finger rather than the usual greeting, and the sound of the unknown man speaking on the phone. She stared at him for a second, before walking around the shop to see what the owner had gotten in recently. Trinity then stopped and looked up from the tables when she heard the other speak to her directly, rather than the person on the phone.Ā āI have heard of a Queen Anneās Lace actually. I believe the represent sanctuary... I might be mistaken thoughā Always doubting herself, Trinny looked back down and continued to look through the flowers as he continued. She couldnāt help but let out a slight laugh as his spoiler alert comment, and ended up shaking her head,Ā āWell, I think they look like lace. Yāknow, intricate, complex and delicate?ā She shrugs her shoulders, before looking up at the man and smiling politely.Ā āAnyways, Iām wanting to buy a sunflower bouquet. Is that something you could help me with?ā She asks before looking around for the ownerĀ āOr should I wait?āĀ
