Enola went out to get some more clothes and I went and got more things to snack on.


we met back at the room we were staying in and devised a game plan



"Alright, there is a town square, thirteen miles from here that has a brand new flower stand, as in it was made within the week. I'm assuming that's where Tewksbury is" Enola nodded

"and what about Briggs?" she asked me 

"he's working as an Astrology teachers assistant at Oxford University" Enola gasped.

"Wow, that's great" I nodded excitedly.

"I know! and when he turns twenty, he can be a licensed teacher! it's so totally ace" I added. Enola smiled

"you do sure enjoy talking about him don't you?" she smirked. I sat back down

"what? no way!"

"mhm sure, Jo" she lied down. I rolled my eyes 

"and on the way to London he said he was going to get his own apartment so I might find it in this book" I pulled up a telephone book

"JO!" I smiled

"what?" 

"that was expensive wasn't it!?" I nodded

"yeah, so I stole it" I scoffed sarcastically and looked in the book. she gasped

"oh my god!" we started laughing "are you going to Tewksbury or Briggs first?" Enola asked

"Tewksbury. it's closer" she nodded "oh and I'm wearing pantaloons again tomorrow." Enola rolled her eyes at the way I said pantaloons. I smelt myself "and I need to shower in the morning" 

"goodnight"

"goodnight"



================================================



"I want five Midnight Blue Tulips mixed in with five Flame Lillies and two small bunches of Baby's Breath." I said to Tewksbury.


 Tewksbury turned to me. he looked surprised. 


"did you know that Baby's Breath has many different meanings, but the most common being everlasting love and innocence" I started


he smiled 


"and Flame Lillie's are about ambition and success" I picked up a Flame Lily. his mouth was wide open "making them the ideal gift for someone starting a new job or experiencing a new beginning.  but we can forget about my favorite flower which is Midnight Blue tulips. they are thought to symbolize tranquility and peace." I picked up a tulip "When given to someone else, the flowers convey a message of trust and loyalty." I gave it to Tewksbury. he laughed


"how do you know so much about flowers?" I smiled 


"let's just say when my mom was focusing on Enola, I was outside. studying my Astrology and reading about flowers"
