Ying Sheng heard the doorbell ring but stalled in her backyard, hoping that Liam, her boyfriend, would get the door and deal with whoever was at the door.
The ringing persisted then cut off abruptly, she breathed a sigh of relief and allowed herself to go back to enjoying the bees visiting her flowers. All summer long she had jumped from the euphoria of having her flowers blooming to watching the bees and butterflies visit.
It may seem commonplace but it gave her a sense of creation, there was something to be said for having your flowers blooming beautiful.
Footsteps headed towards her paused her reverie, the door opened to reveal her boyfriend, Liam as he stepped into their lush backyard.
"Over here," she called and his eyes darted towards her.
She smiled up at him from her spot in the grass and he smiled back, a crooked smile that revealed him more handsome and drove a pang straight through her heart.
"Hello gorgeous"
