Stand By Me Darling

Sophia’s snow white fingers that were around the bouquet trembled a little seeing that piercing green eyes looking at her straight in the eyes as if scrutinising her.

This is the man she waited for all these years. She waited patiently for his eyes always following that other woman to finally look at her; only her. She tried in every way and when she thought she didn’t have a chance anymore, there he is... In front of her! And he is looking at her. There is a smile in his perfect thin lips and she could even see her reflection in his clear green eyes.

But why is it scary?

Her eyes darted back to the flower bouquet in her hand. It looked beautiful with twelve yellow carnations surrounding a single purple petunia flower and it did have some filler flowers to make the piece beautiful.

She knew he asked a question and she needed to answer but all that was going on in her mind was his words. ’I chose them myself’. At a glance, this looked like a beautiful bouquet. But...

Does he know the meaning of these flowers?

Petunia: The petunia flower symbolizes anger and resentment especially when they are presented by someone with whom you have recently had a heated disagreement. They can also symbolize your desire to spend time with someone because you find their company soothing and peaceful.

So which meaning should she take it as? She didn’t have to think because he made it clear with the other flower.

With yellow carnations, you’re telling them that they have disappointed you or it can even express your thoughts of rejecting them.

And she doesn’t even have to think about it more. There are thirteen flowers in the bouquet! Who gives thirteen flowers to his fiancée? Really, thirteen?

So he picked these for me knowing the meaning?
