Whether or not Alia had expected to receive anything on Valentine's Day this year, there was something waiting for her when she woke up. Sitting on the table in her kitchen was a single, long-stemmed, red rose. It lay across a white envelope addressed to her.
When Alia opened the envelope, she found a valentine's card with a simple, yet elegant, poem inside. There was no signature.
Later that day, when Alia returned from her lunch break to her workstation, she'd discovered something else waiting for her. There was a box of fine Belgian chocolates sitting on the desktop. Laying across it was another long-stemmed, red rose. There was no indication who it was from and no one had seen it delivered.
It was early evening when Alia left work to return to her quarters. Waiting for her on the coffee table beside the couch was a white, plush teddy bear holding another long-stemmed, red rose and a simple note in it's lap.
valentine's day,
alia,
