Summary
There are flowers on Eddie’s doormat when he gets home from work that night. They’re enough to give him pause as he searches the leaves and petals for a card indicating that they’ve been delivered to the wrong address because there’s no way they’re for him. No one ever gets him flowers.
But as he pulls the little card free, his name is printed neatly on the back alongside a note that reads “just because”.
It would be endearing if it wasn’t concerning. There isn’t a single person he can think of that would do something like this. He’s not seeing anyone, none of his relatives or friends are the type to choose flowers as their gift of choice, nothing is adding up.
Eddie takes the flowers inside anyway. He has no reason not to, even if they’re from a stranger or a stalker or something equally nefarious. The flowers themselves are innocent of all crimes. And actually very pretty.
They look incredibly out of place in the dinginess of his apartment.
