I pushed open the door to Jamie's flower shop and immediately stopped in the doorway.
Every single time I came here, this place managed to surprise me all over again.
I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that an entire building was filled with nothing but flowers. Not a bakery. Not a café. Not a store selling a mix of random things.
Just flowers.
And somehow Jamie owned the entire building.
Three floors of it. I know he only wanted one flower but somehow his flowers had overgrown and taken over the building. The outside was also filled with plants. It was beautiful.
The scent hit me first.
It always did but today it felt stronger than usual.
It wrapped around me the moment I stepped inside, thick and layered in a way that made the air feel almost sweet enough to taste. Roses, lilies, lavender, peonies, chrysanthemums—so many scents mixing together that my brain couldn't separate them anymore. It was fresh and earthy and soft all at once.
