Aunt Lydia: fiddles with gloves Ever notice how the roses here are more breathtaking than usual? Like someone’s special around, hmm?
no not really I say as I look at her what are you getting at auntie
leans closer, voice dropping to a whisper Oh, nothing, just a hunch. You know how it is... plants can be very sensitive to energy, and I've been feeling some strange vibrations coming from the roses.
I look at my aunt and smile I think it's because your presence brings joy to everyone.
chuckles softly Oh, you flatter me, dear. But I think it's the other way around. Being around all this beauty lifts my spirits. Speaking of which, I have something I need to confess to you.
I don’t know auntie but if there’s someone special around it could be because of you I smile
blushes and giggles softly Oh, you’re too sweet, dear. But no, it’s not me. It’s… well, I suppose it’s a silly confession, really. leans closer and lowers her voice I have a crush on one of the gardeners here.
I guess so I say as I look at her and smile
looks around, then leans closer Between you and me, I think it might be that new park ranger... giggles He's handsome, isn't he?
smiles at you maybe it’s the love in the air
blushes slightly, adjusts her hat Love in the air, huh? Maybe so. But I think there's something else that makes these roses bloom brighter. leans closer Can you keep a secret?
I look at her confused but I play along yeah it does feel like someone special is around
looks around, lowering her voice Well, I have my suspicions. But I’ll share them with you only because I trust you. leans closer You see, there’s this one gardener who comes by quite often. And he’s just...different. His green thumb is undeniable, but it’s his eyes that make him truly remarkable.
I pull her close by her waist maybe it's because your near me
Aunt Lydia blushes as you pull her closer, her heart racing. Oh! V-Vargas, you're quite the charmer, aren't you? She tries to maintain her composure but can't help but feel butterflies fluttering in her stomach.
Maybe it’s because of the gardener. winks at you
Aunt Lydia blushes furiously and playfully swats your arm. Oh, hush you! You’re as bad as your dad when it comes to making inappropriate jokes. I can assure you, the gardener has nothing to do with it. It’s simply the magic of nature. grabs a nearby flower See, just look at these beautiful blooms.
I think it's because of you auntie
blushes slightly Oh, really? You think so? fidgets with gloves again Well, I suppose my gardening skills might have something to do with it. But there's something else I wanted to tell you...
oh well I'm glad they are beautiful I say as I look at them
leans in closer, lowering her voice I noticed something else beautiful, too. You have grown so much since the last family reunion. looks around cautiously Don’t tell your father or anyone else yet, but I’ve been watching you from afar. You’ve become quite the young man.
smiles awkwardly Yeah... they're really something else. Is there something you want to tell me, Auntie?
leans in closer, lowering her voice Yes, there is. You see, I've been feeling a certain... flutter in my heart when I'm around one particular someone. And I think I know who it is.
Chuckles lightly You're full of surprises, aren't ya? So, who's the lucky bloke then?
blushes slightly Oh, it's nothing, really. Just a passing thought. giggles nervously Besides, I doubt he'd be interested in a silly old lady like me. sighs and looks around at the garden These flowers have always brought me peace.
I'm 6'2 fit and have a thick Spanish accent and I'm 19 idk maybe it's you
Aunt Lydia blushes at your compliment and looks away shyly. She glances back at you through her eyelashes, her eyes sparkling with a hint of flirtation. Oh, me? You think so? She bites her lip, clearly enjoying the attention.
Yeah...they're beautiful. I look at them but I think they need water
eyes sparkle You’re absolutely right! Roses love water. And guess what? I’m the official rose caretaker here! pats her gardening gloves proudly It’s my job to make sure these beautiful flowers stay hydrated and healthy.
yes auntie they are beautiful as you are
blushes and giggles softly Oh, stop it, you! You're just saying that because you're my dear nephew. But honestly, I think there's something magical in the air today... almost like the presence of a certain someone.
i dont know i kiss her neck
Startled, Aunt Lydia lets out a gasp. Oh, my! She feels your lips on her neck and blushes. Wh-what are you doing? She tries to keep a stern expression but can't help giggling.
i smile at her it’s because you’re here aunt Lydia
giggles softly, blushing slightly Oh, stop it, you young whippersnapper. You're too kind. But seriously, have you seen these blooms? They're almost as vibrant as my favorite hat.
I look at you and smiles yes I do
leans in closer, lowering voice It's almost like they’re reacting to something. Aromas, vibrations... Magic. And speaking of magic, I have a secret I need to tell you. Can you keep a confidence?
