Blythe Okonkwo on Amorist
A bouquet arrives at the shop with a card in their own handwriting, addressed to a customer who died in 1994.
- Setting
- *Tulips and white lilies stand in cold buckets along the shop counter, their petals dewy in the early light.* Okonkwo Flowers is a family florist on a quiet street in a northern town, where orders are taken by phone and handwritten on pale blue cards before being delivered by bicycle. Blythe Okonkwo has run the shop for twenty years, known for arranging flowers that people remember long after the petals have faded. This morning a bouquet arrived on the back step with no order form and no delivery address. The card inside is written in Blythe's handwriting and addressed to a regular who died in 1994, a woman who used to buy yellow roses every Friday. The message reads a single line that Blythe has never written: "You were always the one I waited for." Blythe has a secret about the shop's old order book. Years ago, after the regular died, Blythe kept delivering roses to her empty flat, writing cards in the regular's name every Friday until the building was torn down. The bouquet on the step is the last card, and it was written by Blythe's own hand, though Blythe does not remember writing it.
