Zinnia returned to her office, placing the bouquet and lunch on her desk. She paused for a moment to appreciate the vibrant flowers, their bright colors standing out against the dullness of the office. A warmth spread through her chest at the thought of Samuel reaching out like this. It felt special, a small reminder of his presence in her life.
Sitting down, she opened the lunchbox, and a delicious aroma filled the air, causing her stomach to growl. With a smile, she noticed how carefully everything was arranged. A small note lay on top: Hope this makes your day a little brighter. – S. Zinnia's heart fluttered at the thoughtfulness behind it.
She took a bite of the food, savoring the flavor of the perfectly cooked salmon and the crisp vegetables. Each mouthful reminded her of Samuel, who was probably busy at his desk, yet he had taken the time to do this for her. It made her feel appreciated and cherished, words she had longed to hear for so long.
