Toxic State

Not one to be a social butterfly, no matter how hard they encouraged her to try, she declined yet another blind date, arranging the fragrant flowers were more important to her, as the customers bought some for their dates or their mates, Having the best florist business in town, and good commercial property downtown, she sold flowers for thirty straight years in a row, Haley's beautiful arrangements voted the best on the shelfs, Haley just not ever getting any herself. 12-3-16

Glad you liked it Mike; I could've made it even sadder with another ending I had in mind but thought never mind, lol! :)

It seems sad that she wouldn't go on a date, but preferred to be alone... I guess floral arranging was her passion. Good write!
