Throw a few rose petals into the mix. You always fancied the smell of those. Do you like mint and sunflower? I hope so. Tulips are too soft for you. I thought you’d prefer buttercups or daffodils. Don’t worry, I put both in for good measure. Ivy feels nice. Perhaps you’ll like the taste of it. Can’t hurt to try. Remember Christmas? The mistletoe was romantic. Perhaps I’ll put some of that in there as well. The colour’s a little bit off, though. How about some periwinkle? Or foxglove, even. That should make it better. I hope you like this, dear. Here, have a sip. Or two.
