Summary
Sydney Adamu never meant to come back to Chicago. But after Emmanuel’s retirement, her mother’s flower shop became hers, and obligation began to look a lot like an ending.
Then Carmen Berzatto started coming in. Every week, same order, same recipient—Claire Dunlap. He was polite, quiet, always looking like he was apologizing for existing. Sydney didn’t expect to notice him, but somehow, she did.
And then one morning, another man walks in with the same order—same arrangement, same woman, same address.
