A/N: Nigel and Emily have taken a bit of a backseat now, I want to focus more on Miranda and Andy.

Roses arrived daily for Andy, each one left in the door knocker. Somebody knows what they're doing.

Each rose was a different colour and each had it's own meaning. Andy looked at the list, when a flower had come, she'd noted the colour and it's meaning. She couldn't help wonder the sender of these roses, they were beautiful and very deliberate. She didn't want to pounce out so she wouldn't scare them off. Andy had decided to bide her time. Soon, there had been a note wrapped around the stem of the flower, it was the first rose she'd received that was different in something other than colour. It was a small scroll made from expensive stationary.

"The Amaranth Red Rose symbolises long standing desire."

The writing was always the same and in deep red ink. All of the flowers were roses by name and had a sincere meaning, it touched Andy to know somebody was thinking about her like that, flattered and curious for the identity of the sender.

It had taken a lot of convincing herself for Miranda to write the first note to accompany the Amaranth. She decided something simple was appropriate, the meaning of the rose was adequate. Something short but definitely to the point, she wasn't one for ridiculously soppy love letters. Since then she had stuck to the meaning of the rose, none of the notes were signed.

Yes, each rose was chosen for a purpose. Words failed her in this situation, even if they didn't, who was to say that Andrea would listen to this old woman after the way she had treated Andrea. Nigel's words hit home immediately and Miranda realised the full extent of what had happened. Miranda too, kept a list of what she had sent so she didn't repeat the same one twice. All she had to do was pick up the phone and place an order under an anonymous name, it was then delivered to the townhouse within twenty minutes and at Andrea's within the hour. Miranda made sure she delivered everything herself. She left the roses in a particular order based on their meaning.

At first blue for unattainable dream, pink: to portray gentle emotions, admiration, joy gratitude. Then a dog rose for pleasure and pain, then lavender for enchantment, orange for passionate desire and fascination, burgundy rose and hibiscus rose for delicate and unconscious beauty, a cardinal rose for sublime desire. Followed by a moss rosebud, the look of it wasn't exactly beautiful, but it's meaning was- the moss rosebud was a confession of love. That was as far as she'd got into sending the roses, and after that, Miranda planned to send them every other day to span things out a bit, she wasn't prepared for Andrea to find out just yet. Miranda planned to follow up these roses with a white one for pure feelings, red for sincere love, respect, courage and passion and finally a tea rose, you can hope.
