Blooming Romance

As Mae Milano is unwinding, the chime of the doorbell startles her. Startled, she moves to respond and is met by Kimora Quin, the proprietress of a floral boutique she frequently frequents, with a shipment of blooms. Mae is puzzled, mentioning she does not recollect placing an order. Politely butters up what transpired, Mae discloses that they lately parted ways and she neglected to call off the order. Kimora is uneasy, dreading reminders of heartache, though Mae endeavors to provide reassurance. Keen to uplift Mae's spirits, Kimora mischievously modifies the names on the card to imply the flowers are a gift from HER to Mae instead! Mae is charmed by the kind act and seeks to graciously disclaim the gift, but Kimora insists. Mae habitually demonstrates her affection with flowers the act deserves accolades extended towards her too. Mae is deeply moved by such kindness upon graciously accepting the offer. As they share conversation and lock gazes, an unexpected attraction builds between the two, ensuing in a spontaneous and amorous encounter.
