ERICA

NERVOUS BUTTERFLIES THRASHED in her gut the entire way back to her studio. When they rounded the corner, her shoulders slumped in relief. Her building looked the same as it did on any other day. With so many cars parked out front, she could take comfort that he hadn’t brought the place and made everyone vacate. So, at least he hadn’t purchased it too.

Her heart thudded as they walked up the stairs to her studio, her palms sweaty.

“It isn’t bad,” he promised over her shoulder when she put her key in the lock. “It was part of my ‘I’m sorry’ present, but we never made it back to your studio last night.”

What was she expecting? Something crazy like a baby elephant painted pink with yellow polka dots standing next to her sofa. When she opened the door, she most definitely didn’t have an elephant in her doorway.

Instead, several dozen vases filled with handmade long-stemmed paper roses adorned her entire apartment. A sea of blues, reds, and pinks adorned nearly every inch of the walkway space.

The feat was nothing to sneeze at. In true Julius fashion, there was a ton of them. One would have sufficed, but Julius didn’t play small. Each of them was gorgeous and unique. It must have taken hours to make these by hand.

“You made these?” She was gleeful now, almost giddy.

“I tried. My sister did most of it, though.”

“I think I see yours,” she said, pointing at a vase with flowers that looked more like golf balls than flower petals with a teasing chuckle.

“Hey, I tried.”

“And I love it all the same.”

“So, this is your kind of romance?”

“Yes.” Erica kissed his shoulder before picking a couple of vases up off the floor and placing them on her counter. “Did you get scented paper? Nice touch. Thank your sister for me.”

“It was my idea.”

Erica pulled Julius into a hug. “These are beautiful. It must have taken forever to haul all of these up. How did you get these in here anyway?”

“I sort of paid your landlord a small sum to arrange these.”

“A small sum?” Like he had a little cash to put down on an art studio in one of the trendiest districts downtown.

“Oh, I have to get that.” Julius rummaged in his coat pocket.

“Get what?”

“My phone.”

On cue, the ringtone became louder.

“You heard that?”

“It buzzes first.” He squinted at the screen, then gave her an apologetic frown. “Sorry, I have to take this… Evan.”

From the sound of it, Evan was not happy. She couldn’t hear what he said—the words were too quick—but from the sheer volume, he was pissed.

“I can explain.” Julius’s voice was level. “Another opportunity arose.”

Curiosity piqued her interest, but Erica made herself busy instead of staring at Julius’s mouth like she wanted to. She tried to pick up as many of the vases as close to the phone as she possibly could. Too bad, she still couldn’t hear Julius’s brother. She wondered what he did.

“I understand. I know what I’m doing.”

Julius seemed calm, although the raging voice on the other end was livid.
