An Accident

You can open your eyes now, darling. Surpise! I bought it two days ago. This is a living room. There will be nursery. There's no furniture in a here yet, except that vase on the floor. Please, put this beautiful white rose in it. One day there will be a hundred of them for the number of years we spend together. And now I suggest we go to a restaurant to celebrate our one-year anniversary. Yep, a bit. Nope, I had only a glass of wine. All right, you drive, sweety.

black rot in the vase
dry rose petals on the floor
dark boarded-up house
