A few weeks ago, a very nice gentle man was the first ever to bring me flowers, a dozen roses. I did find that the gesture will bring tears to my eyes and I have never felt so girly as when I was scrambling around trying to find a vase to put them in. They were beautiful, and soft and I could not believe he did that for me.
But now they are wilted and drying up. How do I go about discarding them? He is visiting more and more frequently, and I do not want him to think I got rid of them for the wrong reason. Should I have tried to preserve at least one somehow? Is there a time frame for keeping fresh flowers? I guess there is more to being a girl than just dresses and make up, and I want to get it right.
