The day was a busy one for Janet Wood. It was Valentines Day and she was busy filing orders for customers. She didn't have time to dwell on the fact that it was another year that she wouldn't be getting flowers from someone special.

Fast forward to 6 p.m. Janet arrives at her home. She is totally exhausted and wants to take a nice hot shower and relax with a good book. She has had a busy day and can't wait for tomorrow. It is Saturday and it is her day off.

She is living in Santa Monica. She has been divorced from Phillip for 4 years now. Thank goodness they never had children. He turned out to be a no good cheat. Almost as soon as the ink on their marriage license was dry he started running around on her. The final straw was when she walked in on him with another woman in their bed. She proceeded to throw all his clothes out the window of the house. It was fun watching him scramble after them. She divorced him and took back her maiden name. She kept the house and took her job at the flower shop back. She was now the manager and loved her job more than ever. There were times when she was lonely.

She missed Terri and Jack. She smiled thinking about them. They had kept in touch. Terri was married with 3 kids. Her husband was a pediatrician that she met at the hospital. They had a great marriage.

Jack. Jack was Jack. He had never married. He dated a lot, although he never found anyone special enough to share his life with. Janet smiled thinking about him. In her sadder moments she wondered if they would have fallen in love had she not met Phillip. She still thought of him often and had dinner at the Bistro once or twice a week. They were good friends. Could it possibly be more? Shaking her head she tells herself that she is just being silly because of Valentines Day. She walks into the kitchen and sees something that makes her heart stop. Inside her kitchen were dozens and dozens of flowers. There were gardenias, forget-me-nots, red tulips, purple lilac and in the center of it all was a single perfect coral colored rose. Janet stood in the kitchen with her mouth wide open, wondering who could have sent these and why. She wasn't dating anyone and no one would spend the kind of money on her that she knew these flowers cost. In the middle of her table she spotted a card. It simply said, "A gathering of flowers, a gift of love for you. May all your days be filled with joy and all your dreams always come true… Please meet me out front for a special evening filled with fun and hope." Love, A Secret Admirer.

Now Janet was at a total loss for words. Not really wanting to go out, but curious as to who sent these beautiful flowers, Janet quickly headed toward the bathroom to get ready.
