Summary: Walter and Kitty are in a flower shop.
“Do you like flowers?” Walter asked. He’d always thought Kitty smelled like one - fresh and fragrant. She always carried an air of fragility around with her, like a perfect bloom one should handle carefully. She fascinated him.
“No, not really. I mean yes,” she corrected herself. “It just seems a shame to waste time on something that’s just going to die.”
Walter didn’t know what to make of that. He’d always thought that flowers were rather nice. But he supposed they did die.

Quick! Her mind told her. Make a list of good things. Reasons to marry him.
She thought his eyes were his most attractive feature. She admitted that she had not noticed them at first, but now she realised that they were the perfect blue of a July sky. One could almost drown in them. Yes, coupled with his blonde hair, they were his very best feature.
