    Summary

    “You don't look like a science geek,” the lad – Robert – calls out, moving across the room. He's as graceful as the girls are and lightening quick.

    Aaron's spent his life getting ribbed on by army boys and putting bullets through anything with eyes like this kid. A lifetime of fronting. He's not going turn into some little pussy now just because his knee's shot.

    “You don't talk like you were made in a test tube,” he shoots back.

    Robert pauses, eyes flickering. They really are feline, Aaron thinks, the way they move, the way they look out at the world. Of course, feline doesn't always mean house cat.

    Robert shrugs. “I have a TV.”

    “Do you?” Aaron hasn't seen TV in years, there's no power outside the city walls any more.

    Summary

    It is an accident that Kate even finds the bouquet at all. She is walking home from her mother’s flower shop after a long shift, hoping that Edwina is free to meet her at the pub for a drink or two while they watch Palace highlights, when she spots the abandoned bunch of flowers on the sidewalk and a young man very decidedly stalking away from them.

    or, Kate runs a flower shop, and Anthony is down on his luck in love. Yep, it's a flower shop AU! For Day Two of KateAnthony Week 2022: Lilies.
