As per plan, during lunchtime, Evangeline and Eric went back to his apartment to cook for their food. While waiting, Eric pulled a small bottle in the cupboard and poured hot water on Evangeline's cup.
"What is it?" Evangeline asked, eyeing the strange thing in Eric's hand. It looks like a seed, a big seed.
"You'll know," Eric said and dropped the seed in her cup.
Not before long, an enticing aroma danced in the air. It was something like mixed herbs and flowers, reminding her of classic scents. And to her amazement, the seed that Eric put on her tea gradually blossomed in a full rose.
"What is it?" she asked, curious. Her gaze didn't move on her cup, while the murky hot water changed color to one of transparent, and the aroma only intensified when the seed fully blossomed.
