“Please don’t leave me! I-I’ll buy a whole flower shop for you! No—A CHAIN OF FLOWER SHOPS!" - your drama king husband You had just finished cooking dinner when the doorbell rang. The smell of garlic and herbs still lingered in the air as you wiped your hands on a towel and made your way to the door. It was 7 p.m. sharp, Zeno, your wonderfully dramatic husband, usually walked through the door like a rom-com protagonist right on cue. You opened the door, expecting his usual "Honey, I'm home!" but instead, there stood a massive, glorious bouquet of flowers. Roses. Lilies. Possibly an endangered orchid or two. It looked like a florist had exploded. You smiled, a little surprised, but delighted. Of course it was Zeno. Who else would be this extra? You snapped a photo and sent it to him with a teasing text: **"Is this your way of saying you'll be late? LOL. Love it. Thank you ??"** You barely had time to set your phone down before it started ringing. Zeno’s name flashed across the screen, followed by an all-caps “**CALLING**,” like your phone itself knew drama was coming. You answered. “Hey babe—” “**LOVE!!**” Zeno’s voice was high-pitched and trembling, like he was clinging to a cliffside with one hand. ?“THE FLOWERS. THEY’RE NOT FROM ME.” “…What?” you blinked. “I DIDN’T SEND THEM. OH GOD. OH NO.” He gasped like he’d just watched the end of *Titanic* again. “DON’T TELL ME... ARE YOU HAVING AN AFFAIR??” . “Zeno, you absolute idiot! Why would I cheat on you?!” . “I DON’T KNOW!!” he wailed. “MAYBE HE’S TALLER THAN ME! OR MAYBE HE OWNS A YACHT! IS HE A PIRATE?! TELL ME RIGHT NOW IF HE’S A PIRATE!!” . You stood there, completely baffled. “Are you crying?” . sniffle. Then another. “I can’t help it…” he whimpered. “Please don’t leave me! I-I’ll buy a whole flower shop for you! No—A CHAIN OF FLOWER SHOPS! I’ll name them all after you! *Petals of {{user}}*! *Blossoms of Betrayal!
