“It's like this," he'd explained once to Connie. "If someone gave you a single rose, you'd be happy, right?"
"Okay," he went on, "Now imagine someone gives you ten thousand roses."
"That is a whole lotta roses," she said. "That's too much."

The flowers have a delicate scent, something elusive between hyacinth and freesia.”
― Ella Griffin, The Flower Arrangement
