After that,
she returned home.

But upon arriving,
she got a
small surprise.

On her doorstep,
laying on the solid ground
was yet another
letter with a
single floret of violet
on top.

Marianna picked up
the violet then the letter.
Unlocking the door,
she hurriedly
went inside.

She gave the floret
a small sniff.
As she pressed
her back against the door,
she opened
the letter.

Her eyes scanned through
the paper,

And for the first time in that day...

... She smiled.
