Before she got there, he’d come towards her and was right there. Lily stood on her tiptoes to reach his lips and realised it had felt like years since she’d done that. “This is so lovely, you went to so much effort” letting her hand slip into his before realising he was handing her something.
“What’s this?” she said and frowned at him as he pulled her down onto the soft grass. It was nicely wrapped and lily carefully undid the paper.
“I know it’s a bit overdone,” he said, suddenly bashful. He gathered up the roses, which thankfully she’d brought with her and settled them into a vase. “But a lily would have been worse. And besides, in flower language, the red rose means I love you.”
He was rambling now, fiddling with the roses in the vase and considering just starting to eat, simply for the sake of something to do with his hands and mouth. He looked up at her, cheeks vaguely red, and grinned his best grin at her.
“It’s sort of reflex for me,” he admitted, still rambling. “If something matters, overdo it. Wine?”
