There was no company quite as beneficial, in Cassia's mind, as the company of flowers.
Being both a florist and the owner of the store itself, she was lucky enough to spend a lot of time around things in bloom. Each morning was a thrill to her, and this one was no different; a blissful smile was on her face as she unlocked the front door, looking up to the bell above it as it jingled when she entered. Things had been tidied up from the night before, but there was still a pleasant air of hard work. Autumn was a busy time in her business, for sad reasons as well as happy ones, and it suited her perfectly.
