Jane Sampson, who was originally counting, burst into laughter upon hearing James Black's question.
"I'm making dried flowers." Jane Sampson said with a gentle smile, "This is the first time I've received flowers, and also the first time you've sent me flowers; it's too meaningful, so I must make a few into dried flowers to preserve them forever."
If it wasn't for the fact that 999 flowers, even if all were turned into dried flowers, wouldn't fit anywhere, Jane Sampson would have liked to preserve all of them as dried flowers.
It was just a coincidence that as soon as Jane Sampson finished answering James Black's question, her mobile phone rang right on cue.
Seeing that the call was from Grandpa Sampton, Jane Sampson immediately picked up.
