“Miss, Lord Wivenly brought these for you.” Eugénie glanced up from her book at the bunch of flowers, already in a vase. One pale yellow rose nestled beneath a lily; the rest of the arrangement was made up of pink roses in full bloom. Old Blush unless she missed her guess. A few closed buds and a jasmine vine added white flowers and greenery. Purity, forgiveness, new love, and amiability, but did he know what the flowers stood for? “Did he say anything?” “Yes, miss. Mr. Bates said his lordship said there was a message in the flowers.” Her heart lightened as she brushed her nose against the blossoms, taking in their spicy scents. He must have gone to Mrs. Rordan and told her they were engaged and that they’d had an argument. She was the only one who had flowers like these. No man had ever given Eugénie flowers before, and he’d had a long walk to Mrs. Rordan’s house to get them. Perhaps he truly was sorry he’d treated her badly and wanted to make up with her. Eugénie smiled and wondered what her old friend would have said to Wivenly.
