Flower shopping for a garden.
I talked with destiny for the whole ride towards the gardener's suppliers as Willie jumped into the conversation from time to time. Once the carriage stopped, we got off and walked into the shop. My mouth was open most of the time until I realised and closed it due to the mesmerising place.
I walked between the flowers and asked the workers to get me the seeds of the ones I liked.
Butterfly weed, because they are super pretty. They mean 'let me go'
Purple Hyacinth, which means 'sorrow'
Striped, because they are unique, but most importantly, because they mean 'refusal'
Is it clear what I am trying to do or shall I get more depressing flowers?
After I bought the seeds and the supplies I need, I went home. Home, is it?
Destiny showed me the way to our lifeless garden and Willie came with us to help plant them. The three of us talked as we brought the garden back to life every day for a month, our laughter filled the place which is why Clyde came into view. The flowers have begun to show slightly, but Clyde never knew that I planned on planting the garden, until today.
"What are you doing?" He asked, I shrugged. "So that's what you have been doing every morning for the past month?"
I nodded proudly with a smile on my face, "Yes." He shook his head disapprovingly "What?" I asked, furrowing my brows.
"Nothing" he said as he turned around with his hands still glued to his back ready to leave, but he turned once again and Said, "we have a family gathering tomorrow, be ready."
What? When? Where?
I removed the gloves and made sure that Willie and Destiny water every flower before leaving, they nodded and I rushed behind Clyde.
"Tomorrow?"
He nodded, "wasn't I clear?"
"You were but," I paused."You should have informed me sooner."
"Well, now you know." He replied coldly.
"Where will it be?" I asked.
"Here"
"here where?" I started to panic."At this castle of ours?" He nodded. "Oh my god-" I stopped, he stopped right after he realised I wasn't behind him and came back to me. My hands were placed at my chest dramatic. But truly, I was scared. "That means we are in charge? Right? With everything! There is not enough time for that Clyde! It's tomorrow for God's sake!"
"Calm down," He said calmly."Don't worry about anything except for your appearance, I have everything under control." I looked at him, still panicked but tried to catch my breathe. "Okay?" He looked deep into my eyes, making sure I was alright which he tends to do quite a lot and I really appreciate that.
I nodded. "Okay."
