Neil walked over and picked up the bouquet, his face emotionless as he took a sniff.

I was taken aback, blurting out, “Last time I saw you holding flowers was our wedding day, and you looked terrible.”

Neil exuded nothing but repulsion towards me. When he presented me with the bouquet, his eyes were devoid of warmth, as if he was handing me a knife instead.
