At twelve thirty sharp, Rosie heard Gavin’s car draw up outside the house. Taking a last, fleeting look in the mirror, she opened the front door and stepped outside. In the brief time it took her to lock up, Gavin got out of his car and slipped round to the passenger side to wait for her. When Rosie turned round, she was surprised to see him standing there, and even more surprised to see what he was holding in his hands. “For you.” A boyish awkwardness seemed to tinge his words as he held out a huge bouquet of flowers towards her. Rosie was slightly taken aback, but tried to hide it as she reached out and took the flowers from him. Exotic-looking lilies mingled with tight-furled rose blossoms and bold gerbera blooms to create a riot of fiery colour, the whole spray being delicately tempered with stems of gypsophila and soft, feathery fern. “Do you like them?” Gavin asked expectantly, as if any woman in her right mind could say no. Far from trying to decide whether or not she liked them, Rosie was busy trying to work out just why Gavin had brought them.
