    The Flower Effect – Chapter 1

    Chapter 1

    Tina was sitting behind her desk at work reviewing some re-writes for a script that she was producing when her assistant Katherine appeared in the doorway with a long white box in her arms.

     

    Lightly knocking on the door, “Tina, these were just delivered for you.”

     

    “Oh thanks Kat, can you just put them on that table over in the corner for now.”  Tina replied without even looking up.

     

    Katherine walked over to the table and set the box down.  She turned and looked at Tina, who had not moved or even glanced up from the script she was reading.  “Is it that good?”

     

    No response from Tina.  She asked again…”What are you reading?  Is it that good that you can’t tear your eyes from it?”

     

    Looking somewhat perplexed Tina finally looked up.  “I’m sorry Kat, was there something that you needed?”

     

    “Aren’t you even curious what the delivery was?” 

     

    Looking for the first time toward the table where Katherine had left the flowers, Tina smiled when she saw what it was and recognized the box.  She put the script down and walked over to the table.  The label on the box showed Park Avenue Flowers.  Unmistakably, they would be from Bette.  She turned around and walked back toward her desk.

     

    “Are you not going to open them?”  asked her puzzled assistant.

     

    “Later.  I want to finish reviewing this script.  Could you please close the door and hold my calls?  I really need to get this script finished.”

     

    “Oh, ok”.  Kat turned and left, closing the door behind her, not understanding how Tina could just ignore the box.

     

    Once the door closed, Tina looked back over to the corner table where the box sat.  She walked back across the room to the box.  ……..would the contents of the box this time be as special as the other times she had received flowers from this florist?  

     

    Tina ran her fingers across the label on the box…… Park Avenue Flowers… this was the florist that Bette used for special occasions.  She thought about the date, it didn’t register with her as being anything special.  She walked over to her desk, picked up her blackberry and scrolled through the calendar.  No, nothing special was listed….today was just an ordinary day.  Sure, in the past Bette would sometimes send flowers “just because”, but not usually from this particular florist.  What was special about this day?  What was Tina missing?

    1. Hello Tazgolf74, that was just beautiful way to start this story… flowers are such a powerful item to represent so many things and well Tulips are a powerful flower without actually meaning to be… I love how you interweave the past and present… and I love the secretive nature Tina choose to set when confronted by the flowers… a lot of hidden messages… I loved your previous story and cannot wait to see what grows and blossoms out of your creative soul… Sincerely, JC (“The tulip’s petals shine in dew, All beautiful, but none alike.” – James Montgomery, On Planting a Tulip-Root)

    2. YAY!!! I knew you said you MIGHT get something together, but damn you made good on it too! This was awesome! I love the symbolism of flowers, and usually am very careful when I select the ones for my wife or someone dear to me. Now, you have to tell us just what is in store with the message on the card. Come on now…you know you have to post daily don’t you? LOL!!!! Thanks for the last email, it made me laugh my arse off. * hugs *

    3. I guess that’s where the saying…”say it with flowers” comes from. There is a flower for a multitude of feelings. Can’t wait to find out what a lavender tulip signifies. This is a great story Taz!

    4. WOW!! I can’t wait to see where this goes. I really like that Tina is sitting there wondering what she might have missed. LOL Anyway, post soon. I look forward to reading more.
