Especially the last part...
I walked int the !rcery stre nt
partic"larly interested in #"yin!
!rceries. I wasn$t h"n!ry. The pain
% lsin! &y h"s#and % '( years was
still t raw. And this !rcery stre
held s &any sweet &e&ries.
He %ten ca&e with &e and al&st
e)ery ti&e he$d pretend t ! %% and
lk %r s&ethin! special. I knew
what he was "p t. I$d always spt hi&
walkin! dwn the aisle with the three
yellw rses in his hands.
He knew I l)ed yellw rses. With a
heart %illed with !rie%* I nly wanted
t #"y &y %ew ite&s and lea)e* #"t
e)en !rcery shppin! was di%%erent

re&e&#ered hw he had l)ed his
steak.
+"ddenly a w&an ca&e #eside &e.
+he was #lnde* sli& and l)ely in a
s%t !reen pants"it. I watched as she
picked "p a lar!e packa!e % T,#nes*
drpped the& in her #asket..
Hesitated* and then p"t the& #ack.
+he t"rned t ! and nce a!ain
reached %r the pack % steaks.
+he saw &e watchin! her and she
s&iled. $-y h"s#and l)es T,#nes*
#"t hnestly* at these prices* I dn$t

I swallwed the e&tin dwn &y
thrat and &et her pale #l"e eyes.

hi& the steaks. And cherish e)ery
&&ent y" ha)e t!ether.$
+he shk her head and I saw the
e&tin in her eyes as she placed the
packa!e in her #asket and wheeled
away.
I t"rned and p"shed &y cart acrss
the len!th % the stre t the dairy
prd"cts. There I std* tryin! t

0"art* I %inally decide ed and &)ed

I placed the ice crea& in &y cart and
lked dwn the aisle tward the
%rnt. I saw %irst the !reen s"it* then
rec!ni/ed the pretty lady c&in!
twards &e. In her ar&s she carried a
packa!e. On her %ace was the
#ri!htest s&ile! I had e)er seen. I
w"ld swear a s%t hal encircled her
#lnde hair as she kept walkin!
tward &e* her eyes hldin! &ine.
As she ca&e clser* I saw what she
held and tears #e!an &istin! in &y
eyes. $These are %r y"*$ she said
and placed three #ea"ti%"l ln!
ste&&ed yellw rses in &y ar&s.
$When y" ! thr"!h the line* they
will knw these are paid %r.$ +he
leaned )er and placed a !entle kiss n
&y cheek* then s&iled a!ain. I wanted
t tell her what she$d dne* what the
rses &eant* #"t still "na#le t speak*
I watched as she walked away as
tears cl"ded &y )isin.
I lked dwn at the #ea"ti%"l rses
nestled in the !reen tiss"e wra ppin!
and %"nd it al&st "nreal. Hw did
