Floral Fraud

A week had passed since the Willow Whispers post, and Katherine finally decided to step outside her self-imposed isolation. She pushed open the door to the flower shop where Hailey worked, a tiny bell jingling above her.

The shop was an explosion of colors and scents. Brightly colored blooms filled the space, from sunflowers to roses, orchids to tulips. The air was rich with the fragrance of fresh flowers, creating a soothing contrast to Katherine's excessively raging thoughts. The walls were lined with shelves displaying delicate vases and decorative pots, each meticulously arranged to showcase the vibrant beauty of the flowers within.
