7 Years Later

In a small town of a certain country, a lush of greenery feild streched out like infinity. The green grasses unintentionally hid the slowly blooming little flowers from the random spectators like a child in their care.

The cold and somewhat dry wind passed throught the bushes, tress, plants and flowers, letting them sway gently along the breeze of early spring.

"Good morning ma'am." One of the workers in her shop greeted with a smile.

The manager of the shop stopped for a bit in front of her and crouched to smell the flowers in the vase. After smelling the sweet and fresh scent of the flowers, she smiled in satisfaction. 

She greeted her worked back. "Good morning, how's the shop doing?"

The staff laughed. "Still striving, yes. The sale shoot up this february, well, as always."

The manager laughed. "Many shits are still in love, aey?"

The staff laughed and nodded. "Yes, so it seems. Oh, by the way,where are you going?"

"To the main shop," she said. "There's something I need to check."

"Really? How about your kid?" 

"She can handle it. I'm handing my kid to her just for a little while." She said then picked her suitcase from the floor. She showed her a polite smile before opening her mouth. "I'm going then, I just stopped for a bit to see what's the situation here..."

"Okay! Have a nice day!"

"Have a nice day too." She exited the shop and stepped down the three step stairs with her blond hair in a high pony bouncing up and down. 

She walked straight to her car when a local stopped her with baskets of fruits.
