The young man introduced himself as Gideon, and he explained that he was a spirit who had been trapped inside the rose bush. Amelia had freed him with her touch, and now he was bound to her. He told her that he could grant her three wishes, and she could wish for anything she desired. But there was a catch: her wishes would have bittersweet consequences.
Amelia thought long and hard about what to wish for. In the end, she decided to wish for a home of her own, where she could feel safe and secure. Instantly, a small cottage appeared, Gideon explained to Amelia that while she now had a home of her own, she would never be able to leave it. She would be trapped inside, just as he had been trapped in the rose bush. Amelia was devastated at first, but she soon realized that she could still have a happy life, even if she was confined to her cottage. She could read, garden, and spend time with Gideon.
The second wish was even harder for Amelia to decide. She thought about wishing for wealth, or for the ability to travel the world, but in the end she wished for something more meaningful. She wished for the ability to help others.
