Tessy opened the door of her bedroom the next morning, her steps coming to a halt when she set her eyes on a beautiful rose bouquet lying lonely on the floor in front of her door.
Looking around, the hallway was completely empty and silent—no soul lurked around. She picked up the bouquet and brought it to her nose, drawing in a deep breath of the refreshing scent.
As she exhaled and opened her eyes, a smile appeared on her face. Just then, she found a note attached to the bouquet.
"They are not close to being as beautiful as you are, neither do they smell nearly as wonderful as you do," the first line read. She continued reading: "But I hope they can bring a teeny weeny bit of a smile to your face, and help lighten the burden in your heart." This part broadened her smile because it indeed did put a smile on her face.
This was one gesture she had seen being extended to some women around her, but had never happened to her.
