Serena woke the next morning to rays of sunlight streaming over her face. 'What a
beautiful day!' she thought to herself. She rose from the bed and went to the
window. There was a beautiful field full of flowers going as far as she could see.
"Oh! How lovely!" she cried as she threw back the drapes and let the sweet smell of
wildflowers fill the room. She inhaled the scent deeply.
"Do you like the smell of those flowers?" Darien's voice cut into her reverie.
She spun around happily and ran up beside him. "It's absolutely lovely!! I could smell
it all day!"
"Good." He replied. "I brought you some for your room." He held out a beautiful vase
full of flowers for her.
She squealed with glee. "They are absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you so much, Darien!"
She gave him a small kiss on the cheek and quickly turned away to hide her blush.
She tried to busy herself with deciding where to put the flowers. "Um...here! Perfect!" she exclaimed cheerfully.
Darien watched her carefully. He was mesmerized with this beauty, he really didn't
want to have to leave. 'But I have to go back to work today. It's been two weeks since
I trimmed one branch!' Darien was a gardener. He had an office/home in town, and
he would travel about doing garden work for those who hired him. He loved plants.
He was really quite gifted when it came to making plants grow, too. He amazed
many of his costumers. He was the best gardener in town. He had a partnership with
his best friend, Andrew. Andrew had been keeping the business up during Darien's
absence. Darien knew Andrew would want some time off soon, since he was getting
married. Darien was to be the best man at the wedding. The wedding was in two
weeks, just enough time to prepare Andrew's surprise. 'That reminds me,' thought
Darien, 'I need to call Lita and tell her to bake the wedding cake. She's the best chef
in town, so she'll be perfect!'
"Darien...DARIEN? Are you listening?"
"Huh? What? Sorry Sere, I guessed I zoned out. What did you say?"
She sighed. "I just asked what you had planned for today and what I was supposed to
do today."
"Oh. I have to go back to work. You can either come with me or stay here with Aunt
Luna. Artemis has a shop in town, too. Which would you rather do?"
"You have a shop? What kind? What kind does Artemis have? What's the town like?
Is it nice? Can I come to town and look around, please?" Serena was full of questions.
Darien laughed. "Yes, I have a shop, my friend and I are gardeners for hire. Artemis
is a tailor; Auntie helps him sew sometimes. The town is very nice, in my opinion. I
would be glad to take you into to town with me, but we have to leave in 45
minutes...can you be ready?"
"Of course I'll be ready!"
Just then Luna called them down for breakfast. "Darien! Serena! C'mon down! Your
pancakes will get cold if you don't hurry!"
So the two went downstairs, hand in hand, for their meal.
