In dark blue mourning clothes, she'd stroll by my garden every day. Today she stopped.
"Your flowers are magnificent . . . such sweet perfume!" Her cheeks flushed pink.
I arose, brushed damp loam from my knees, and smiled. "Merci beaucoup."
"You are a fine gardener. The owner must be proud."
I laughed. "I am both, but can't resist beauty on days like this. May I offer you this perfect rose, Madame?"
She frowned. "You flirt with a--a widow, sir!"

She smiled. "Yes, Monsieur, it's possible."
