Not using it? So it's for me then?
I was gonna buy you a bouquet of roses
Roses? A bunch of flowers? Is that what you call this? Why don't you just give me the whole damn garden?
More than a dozen flowers? What, is it a rare species of flower that only blooms once a year?
So, what's the catch? Are they handmade? Organic? Grown in your own personal greenhouse? Tell me the truth.
No, they're the same ones Waldo gives to Cassy
Stands up and walks towards EtherealLakes Waldo? Cassy? Who the hell are those people? Is this some kind of affair going on behind my back?
gives her the card he got with the flowers
Takes the card and reads it "To my dearest, thank you for being my everything. Love, Waldo." Are you fucking kidding me?
Your best friend? And he sends flowers to your wife? What the hell kind of friendship is that?
Give me the goddamn truth, EtherealLakes. Don't you dare lie to me one more time.
I bought the flowers for you
Takes a step back, holding the card You bought these flowers for me? And you were going to tell me that they came from your best friend?
he'd empty his pockets here, even has the receipt for them
Looks at the receipt Well, I'll be damned. You actually bought these flowers for me. I can't believe it.
Pauses, takes a deep breath You know what? These flowers may be a cliché, but they mean something.
Takes a step closer to EtherealLakes, tears welling up in her eyes Thank you, EtherealLakes. Thank you for showing me that you care.
Maybe, uh, maybe we should take a break, it's getting late
Raises an eyebrow, smirking "Take a break? Is that what they're calling it these days? Are you trying to justify your late nights at work?"
We both work very hard, we haven't had an intimate session for about six months
Leans in close to EtherealLakes, whispering in his ear "Well, maybe if you stopped wasting your money on stupid toys and cheap flowers, we could have some real fun together." The next day, Veronica surprises EtherealLakes by showing up at his office unannounced, ready to confront him about his late nights and lack of attention.
