After inheriting a substantial fortune from her parents, Jasmine made the significant move to Cunningham, a bustling city that promised possibilities and new beginnings. This decision, however, was not rooted in a longing for adventure or fresh experiences. Instead, it was born out of profound tragedy and heartache. Just before her relocation, a devastating accident took away her beloved parents, leaving Jasmine to confront a world that felt utterly foreign and overwhelming. With the sudden loss of her family, she was thrust into a painful reality, one where she had to learn to navigate life without their guiding presence.
In the wake of their passing, Jasmine was engulfed by an overwhelming sense of loss. The emotional turmoil she experienced was all-consuming, often rendering her paralyzed by grief. She spent countless nights crying her heart out, as waves of sadness crashed over her like a relentless tide. In those dark moments, despair whispered insidiously in her ear, convincing her that happiness was a distant memory. For quite some time, she sank into a deep depression, completely at war with the reality of existing without the people who had loved her unconditionally. The weight of her solitude pressed down on her chest, making even the simplest of tasks seem insurmountable.
Yet, despite these formidable obstacles, Jasmine was determined not to be defeated by her circumstances. Deep inside, a flickering flame of resilience burned, urging her to forge a new path for herself, a path that would honor her parents' memory while allowing her to rediscover joy. With her last savings in hand, she set her sights on Cunningham, a city that she hoped would serve as a backdrop for her healing journey and offer her the chance to rebuild her life from the ashes of her sorrow.
Once she settled into her new surroundings, Jasmine resolved to channel her grief into something beautiful and meaningful. She chose to open a charming flower shop, a quaint little haven adorned with vibrant blooms and fragrant blossoms. Through her profound love for flowers, she not only aimed to create a source of income but also aspired to cultivate a space that could bring joy and comfort to others. Each arrangement and bouquet she crafted was imbued with heartfelt emotion, a reflection of her journey through grief. In sharing the beauty of flowers with her community, Jasmine hoped to create a little piece of happiness in an otherwise challenging time, not only for herself but for those around her as well. Her flower shop became a sanctuary—a place where both Jasmine and her customers could find solace, healing, and perhaps even a semblance of hope amidst the unpredictable tides of life.

James pushed open the glass door to Clever Clover, the soft chime of the bell above signaling his arrival. The scent of fresh blooms greeted him immediately, a fragrant bouquet of lavender, roses, and something earthy that he couldn't quite place but found strangely comforting. Sunlight filtered through the windows, illuminating the small shop in a warm, golden hue. It felt like stepping into a world far removed from the stress and heaviness that had been weighing on him for months.
His boss had been right to send him on this vacation. The wide expanse of Cunningham’s wilderness had been a balm for his frayed nerves, but something about the town itself intrigued him—especially the whispers he'd overheard about the "Flower Girl" who ran this place. Her shop was supposed to be an oasis of color and calm, and James figured a visit might lift his spirits, even if only for a moment.
He wasn’t much for flower arrangements or gardening, but he appreciated flora, especially after spending so much time observing the stunning wildlife in this province. He had already noted the healthy deer population, the sharp calls of the osprey overhead, and the winding trails that stretched for miles through the mountains. But today, it was time to shift his attention to something smaller, quieter.
"Morning," he called out, glancing around the shop. It was a cozy space, filled to the brim with plants of all kinds. Pots of greenery lined the shelves, some overflowing with ferns and ivy, while vases of vibrant wildflowers sat on display counters. The shop was vibrant and alive, a direct contrast to how he'd been feeling lately—drained and tired.
James stepped closer to a row of potted clovers, tiny but lush. He knelt down to examine them, his fingers brushing gently against their leaves. A faint smile tugged at his lips. There was something peaceful about the simplicity of it all. No deadlines, no pressure. Just life, quietly growing.

Jasmine was really focused on putting together her flower bouquet. She was almost ready to tie it all up and make it look perfect when she heard a gentle ding from the bell above the door. It was the sound that let her know someone had walked into her shop. Looking up, she saw a man who seemed to be in his thirties, maybe a bit older. He walked in with a friendly vibe, and Jasmine couldn’t help but smile at him.
"Good morning!" she exclaimed, her bright smile making her whole face light up with joy and warmth. It was the kind of smile that could easily turn a regular day into something special.
"How may I assist you, sir?" Her voice was cheerful and welcoming, filled with a genuine eagerness to help. She truly enjoyed seeing customers walk through the door, and today was no different. Jasmine felt a rush of happiness just at the thought of helping someone pick out the perfect flowers. It was more than just a job to her; it was a chance to share joy and beauty with others. With each bloom she arranged and every bouquet she crafted, she aimed to make someone’s day a little brighter. Jasmine loved her work, and it showed in every interaction she had. Whether a customer wanted a single flower or a grand arrangement, she was always ready to assist, ensuring they left with a smile, just like hers.
James took a moment to take in the cheerful energy radiating from Jasmine, her warmth filling the room like sunlight. Her smile was infectious, and for the first time in a while, he found himself mirroring it, a small but genuine smile breaking through his usually stoic expression. “Good morning,” he greeted, his voice soft but with a friendly undertone. His gaze swept over the shop, taking in the meticulously arranged bouquets, the vibrant colors, and the delicate way each flower seemed to be placed with purpose. He could see why the locals had so much to say about this place.
“Your reputation precedes you,” he said, his eyes landing back on her with an amused glint. “I’ve heard quite a bit about the ‘Flower Girl’ and her incredible shop, so I thought I’d come see it for myself.” He chuckled lightly, gesturing to the walls lined with various flowers and plants. “I have to say, they weren’t exaggerating. This place is… well, it’s impressive.”
He let out a gentle sigh, as if the beauty of the flowers and the calming atmosphere of the shop were already working their magic on him. “I’m just here for a bit of peace and quiet. Needed a break from the day-to-day grind, and, well… this seemed like the perfect place to find it.” James paused, glancing around at the vivid splashes of color and the subtle fragrance lingering in the air. “Do you have any recommendations for someone who doesn’t know a thing about flowers but could use a little bit of that joy they bring?”
James took a breath, glancing down at a small cluster of white lilies nearby, their petals soft and inviting. “Visiting a flower shop may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you think ‘retreat,’” he admitted with a faint smile, his tone almost contemplative. “But here I am. I suppose there’s probably a place like this back where I come from, but… I find myself here instead.”
