“It's not about the anniversary.”
“Look,” Adam ran his finger through his hair and it settled back, almost like nothing about him could be out of place. “I'm starving. I just got off a 16 hour flight. So, why don't you make some dinner and we can talk about this.”
“Sure.” Jade smiled.
She walked to the kitchen, grabbed a plate and opened a cupboard where she had stuffed the roses from a few weeks ago. She placed the plate down, then put the card on top as well as some of the white roses. She placed the single red rose on top. Then she made herself a cup of tea.
She dropped the plate of roses in front of him. “Bon appetit.”
“What's this?” He picked the red rose, staring at it with disgust.
“La Rose De la Heartbreak by chef Frances.” She pointed it out, then pretended to be shocked. “You don't remember your anniversary gift?”
“This is what Frances sent?”
She thought she heard anger in his voice. But Adam never showed emotions. Besides, this wasn't the first time he was acting like he hadn't signed off on what Frances did. He and Frances were always together, like two nostrils, so it was impossible for him to be unaware.
