A whiff of romance bloom in 'petal dream's

In a small town flowers shop

By Sufiyan mohammed shaikhPublished about a year ago 1 min read

In a quaint little town nestled between rolling hills, Eliza ran a small flower shop named "Petal Dreams." Every day, she arranged bouquets for weddings, anniversaries, and sometimes, just because. Despite being surrounded by symbols of love, Eliza's own life was void of romance. She had convinced herself that love was for others, not for her.

One crisp autumn morning, a man named Thomas walked into her shop. He was searching for the perfect bouquet to apologize to someone special. Eliza listened attentively, her fingers expertly picking the freshest blooms. As she handed him the bouquet, their fingers brushed, and for the first time in years, Eliza felt a flutter of something she had long forgotten.

Over the next few weeks, Thomas became a regular customer. Each visit was an opportunity for them to exchange stories, laugh, and share a little piece of themselves. Eliza found herself looking forward to his visits, her heart skipping a beat every time the bell above the door chimed.

One day, Thomas walked in, holding a single red rose. "This isn't for anyone else," he said softly, "it's for you."

Eliza blushed, the warmth of his gesture melting away her doubts. In that moment, she realized that romance wasn't just for others—it was for her too.

And so, amidst the flowers in "Petal Dreams," a new romance blossomed, one that would last a lifetime.
