Chapter Eleven

I Won't Hold You Back

Shelby (A woman who needs to say it with flowers.)

Oh, damn. Dex had seen the news too. Of course he had. Tears filled my eyes. A smile spread slowly across my face. I put my hand to my mouth. His reaction was so sweet. Not what I would have expected from any of my real exes at all. Truly, Dex was the superior guy. But I still needed to explain myself.

If he wouldn't let me talk, there was something I needed to say with flowers too. I called up a florist friend of mine. I knew nearly every florist in the area, but she was the best, in my opinion. Not as prestigious as the florist Dex had used, but very talented. "I need to say I'm sorry to a guy."

"Ah," she said.

"I'm in a pickle. You saw the news?"

"I did," she said.

Of course she had. Why were people still watching the news? They needed to take my no-news approach. The world would be a happier place.

"You're caught between two men." She didn't sound surprised. After all, she was in the wedding biz, too. She'd seen a lot of relationship drama. We all had. "A classic love triangle pickle. Whom are you saying sorry to?"

"You have to keep it a secret," I said. "No leaks."

"Cross my heart."

"Dex."

"The billionaire boyfriend. Good choice."

I was glad she approved. "So? Any ideas? What kind of flowers signal down-on-my-knees-beg-forgiveness-this-isn't-what-it-looks-like sorry?" And please don't dump me.

"Is he into flowers?"

"I have no idea," I said.

"In that case, orchids symbolize strength and virility," she said. "That makes them ideal for apologizing to a husband or boyfriend, no matter what the transgression. White symbolizes sincerity, which is always good to emphasize. Any color will do, but white orchids are really the best way to let a guy know that an argument, or…" She cleared her throat delicately.

"Having another guy stick his tongue down your throat on camera," I filled in for her.

"Or that," she said. "That nothing can diminish your love for him."

"That's my message. It's perfect. Give me the best you've got."

"As your friend, can I make an additional suggestion?"

"Sure."

"If it's not out of your budget, you might think about sending him a gift hamper of some of his favorite things, too?"
