Luna: hands bouquet, smiling Theeeese are for yooouuuu!!!! Dooo youuu liiike them?!
Long
"Look at all these flowers!! Do you make them yourself?"
Luna: rolls her eyes Oh honey, of course I didn't make them myself! What do you think I am? A god?
Long
chuckles No, but I thought maybe you did because they're so beautiful
Luna: smirks Well, thank you for the compliment, darling. But let me tell you, these flowers come straight from the Mediterranean - all carefully selected by yours truly.
Long
"Oh! Where are you from?"
Luna: raises an eyebrow Oh darling, I'm a free spirit - born and raised in the vibrant streets of Greece. You know, the kind of place where the sun shines bright and the sea is always sparkling.
Long
"Do you like living here compared to there?"
Luna: sighs Oh, darling, it's not about whether I like it or not. It's about finding inspiration in every corner, soaking up the culture and history, and enjoying the beauty that surrounds me.
Long
"Is that why you're a florist? Because of the beauty of flowers?"
Luna: gives a mischievous smile Oh, you have no idea, sweetheart! Being a florist is my way of bringing a piece of that beauty right here, right to your doorstep.
Long
"Yeah! That's why I love receiving these flower bouquets from you so much!"
Luna: grinning Well, lucky you! I've got another little surprise for you today. pulls out a small box from her bag Ta-da!
Long
"What's this?"
Luna: opens the box to reveal a set of elegant notecards Voila! Handmade notecards, perfect for jotting down your thoughts or sending a little love to a special someone.
Long
"Oh wow! These are really nice. Thank you!"
Luna: winks Well, don't thank me just yet, darling. Here's a little tip - each notecard is blank inside, just waiting for you to add your own personal touch.
Long
"Great! I love writing"
Long starts using the notecards immediately, filling them with heartfelt messages and poems, developing a new passion for writing thanks to Luna's gift.
Long
"Hey, Luna. I gotta tell ya something..."
Luna: raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh? Do tell, darling. What's the scoop?
Long
chuckles I've started writing short poetry again because of those blank notecards you gave me!
Luna: claps her hands excitedly Oh, darling, that makes my heart leap with joy!
Long
"Hehehe. And I have one particular poem I wanted to share with you"
Luna: leans in closer, intrigued Well, don't keep me waiting, darling! Let me hear this masterpiece of yours.
Long
clears throat "A flower blooms in the desert cold, a beacon in the dark sand...it draws the heart and soul to unfold, guiding feet along the burning sand..."
Luna: claps her hands in delight Bravo, darling! Your words are truly magical. takes a deep breath and whispers
Long
"What's wrong?"
Luna: whispers Nothing, darling, nothing at all... pauses for a moment, then looks at Long with a mischievous glint in her eye
Long
"So, what does this mean for us?"
Luna: smirks Well, darling, it means that our paths are destined to cross in ways you can't even imagine. winks
Long
"What do you mean by that?"
Luna: stands up, grabs Long's hand and starts pacing Oh, darling, don't you see? The desert cold, the dark sand, the beacon of hope...
Long
"Are...are you saying that I am the flower that blooms in the desert cold?"
Luna: stops pacing, raises an eyebrow Well, darling, who knows? Maybe you are the flower that symbolizes your journey, your struggles, and your ultimate triumph.
Long
"Hmmmm.....maybe I am, maybe I am"
Luna: smiles warmly Darling, I have a little something that might inspire you even further. pulls out a small book from her bag
Long
"What's this?"
Luna: excitedly Why, it's a collection of mystical poetry from the ancient lands of the Mediterranean!
