Three months after bu:rying my fianc\u00e9, I forced myself to work another wedding. Then I saw his mother slipping away from me, and her reaction immediately felt wrong.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Adrian and I were supposed to get married that summer.<\/p>\n

By spring, almost everything had been arranged. The venue was booked. My dress was chosen.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We argued over cake flavors and laughed at how ridiculous the argument sounded.<\/p>\n

He wanted chocolate.<\/p>\n

I wanted lemon.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seriously fighting over cake now?\u201d Adrian asked one night, staring at me across our kitchen table.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not fighting,\u201d I said. \u201cI\u2019m explaining why you\u2019re wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

He laughed so hard he nearly spilled his coffee.<\/p>\n

Those were the moments I remembered afterward.<\/p>\n

Not the guest list. Not the flowers. Not the wedding plans.<\/p>\n

I remembered his laugh, the way he leaned against the counter, and how certain I was that we had years ahead of us.<\/p>\n

Then, six weeks before the wedding, Adrian died in a car accident.<\/p>\n

No warning. No goodbye. No final chance to say anything important.<\/p>\n

One day, I was deciding where to seat his difficult uncle.<\/p>\n

The next, I was identifying Adrian\u2019s belongings.<\/p>\n

The crash was so severe that we buried him in a closed casket.<\/p>\n

At the funeral, I stood beside his mother, Colleen, holding her hand as Adrian was lowered into the ground.<\/p>\n

She squeezed my fingers until they hurt.<\/p>\n

Neither of us said much.<\/p>\n

There was nothing useful to say.<\/p>\n

Afterward, people approached me quietly.<\/p>\n

They hugged me, told me Adrian loved me, and promised time would make things easier.<\/p>\n

I nodded because I had no idea what else to do.<\/p>\n

I believed that was the worst day of my life.<\/p>\n

Three months later, I discovered I was wrong.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a florist.<\/p>\n

Before Adrian passed away, weddings were my favorite jobs.<\/strong><\/h1>\n

I loved arriving before the guests, while the venue still looked unfinished, then watching an empty room turn into a celebration.<\/p>\n

Flowers could completely change a space.<\/p>\n

The right centerpiece could make a plain table romantic. Greenery and candlelight could soften a cold ballroom. A nervous bride could relax the moment someone handed her a bouquet.<\/p>\n

After Adrian died, even looking at a bridal bouquet reminded me of the one I had chosen for myself.<\/p>\n

So I stopped accepting weddings.<\/p>\n

For weeks, I handled birthdays, corporate events, and sympathy arrangements instead.<\/p>\n

Anything except weddings.<\/p>\n

Even hearing the word \u201cfianc\u00e9\u201d made my stomach tighten.<\/p>\n

Eventually, though, bills forced me back.<\/p>\n

Grief did not stop rent, supplier invoices, or shop expenses.<\/p>\n

So three months after Adrian\u2019s funeral, I agreed to take wedding jobs again.<\/p>\n

I told myself work might help.<\/p>\n

That morning, another florist I sometimes worked with called in sick and asked me to cover a wedding.<\/p>\n

She sounded miserable.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know it\u2019s last minute,\u201d she said. \u201cI wouldn\u2019t ask unless I really needed you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I looked around my shop.<\/p>\n

Buckets of roses stood beside the cooler. My assistant was already organizing deliveries.<\/p>\n

Every instinct told me to refuse.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll do it,\u201d I said.<\/p>\n

A few hours later, I was arranging flowers at a reception venue I had never worked before when I noticed a familiar woman near the entrance.<\/p>\n

Colleen.<\/p>\n
