She froze, breath catching softly in her throat as her eyes took in the scene before her-something so impossibly beautiful it felt almost unreal.

Petals were scattered across the floor and bed like fragments of a dream, leading her gaze to the center where they formed a perfect heart-carefully arranged, deliberate… meaningful.

For a moment, Cassie didn’t move. This wasn’t just romantic. It was intentional.
