Tea and Flowers

Chapter 2: Rose

Cid was working in the garage, tweaking with various pieces of machinery.

'Captain, dinner's ready' Shera had appeared at the doorway.

'Thanks, would you mind handin'me a screwdriver, there's one in the tool box' Cid didn't look away from his work. Shera walked over to the toolbox and lifted the lid.

'Cid, what's this' She held up a white rose.

'I-It's a rose, to thank ya for the tea…' Cid did not turn to look at Shera, 'I'll go wash my hands then' Cid stood up and practically ran out of the room, leaving Shera in a confused daze.
