Forty seven

Steph looked forward to reading the notes every morning. They were now a routine she had gotten used to and she loved it. Alex's plan was to smitten her with the sweet words and get her to get together with him. She was starting to fall for it, his plans were working and he had no idea.

Steph like every other day had stepped out of her room eagerly to receive the flowers and the notes. He had made sure to switch flowers each day to all of Steph's favorite flowers.

She loved the scents. They were all natural and even though she had ran out of vases to put them in, she put some in the garden they had behind.

Steph stepped out and saw the lily's on the table, she picked them up and put them close to her nostrils. She let the scent in. She hadn't known how much she loved flowers until recently.

She opened the note and sat on the couch.

Dear Stephanie,

The days without you in this house has been really cold and sad. I miss you a lot. I miss you a little more each day
