_{[Uhm.... a knock? Well... he was the only one home so he stepped away from the stove and looked through the peephole.

Wha?

What the hell was all that?

He opened the door, looking at the young boy with a bouquet of multicolored roses.]}

Ah... hello?

Man, someone must love you a lot. This is the third bouquet today!

Yeah, I know... ah... are there any more coming?

Nope, that's the last one today.

Good good... _{what does this all mean anyway...}

Huh? _{[the kid seemed surprised as Jim signed for the flowers.]} You don't know what the flowers mean? Here, lemme show you.

Huh? Wha-- I didn't mean--

My parents own the flower shop that these came from, I know this stuff!

Yeah I bet you do...

See there's eleven roses, that means whoever sent them really loves you. And this red one means love... this orange one means they're really excited about you, the dark red one means they think you're beautiful, the pink one is like...perfect happiness. My mom says this coral one means 'desire'... and the white one is the one people get married with.

_{[Jim had to hand it to the kid, he was better at this than he was, he didn't know any of them other than the red one.]}

That's pretty good... do you know the other ones?

Huh? Oh yeah, the honeysuckle is for bonding with the person you love and the Alstro...Alstromer.... the orange ones mean loyalty.

Huh... thanks. _{[he handed the kid a twenty, bringing a smile to his face]} Stay out of trouble.

_{[he headed inside, looking at the flowers... he had to text Spock now.]}
