Noelle couldn't help but start salivating when she got a knock on her door. She knew it was her ÜberEats order here to deliver the breakfast she got from iHop. She would usually make her own breakfast; but recently she'd been ordering food too lazy to do it herself.

In a full pajama set, Noelle answered the door. She took her order from the man, gave him the pin so he could collect his tip and closed the door. She washed her hands and emptied the contents of the heavy bag onto the kitchen table.

A full stack of original pancakes, three strips of pork bacon, two boiled eggs, hash browns and two waffles. Noelle knew she shouldn't be eating all this food, but she was eating for two other people as well.

She ate her breakfast not leaving a crumb behind, then felt super bad after. She cleaned up and figured she should watch some tv or something. Later on she would have to start working on her invitations for her baby shower coming up in a month.

Just as she got ready to settle on the couch, the doorbell rang again. Noelle was glad she hadn't sat yet because she was already having trouble standing up on her own. Her belly at six months was bigger than average because she was carrying two kids.

Noelle opened the door and her mouth hit the floor. Her superintendent stood in the hall with a look of exhaustion and amusement.

An assortment of flowers were behind her superintendent Rick. He made a head motion for her to come further out and when Noelle peeked her head into the hall she gasped, putting a hand over her mouth. Hundreds and hundreds of flowers stretched down the entire fifth floor.

Noelle saw blue Hyacinths, pink carnations, pink roses, Lily of the valleys, sunflowers, white orchids, white tulips and so many others.

"And before you ask, yes the recipient is Noelle Wright." Rick said.

"Does it say from who?" Noelle questioned, a little weirded out.

Rick looked at the card. "Lotus Hunter, it says."

Noelle frowned, she recognized sunflowers and Hyacinths were flowers meant for apologies so she assumed the other flowers had the same meaning. Noelle couldn't help but feel a tinge better, but it was only a tinge. She was still very upset.

"We need you to sign for them." Rick spoke.

The two made eye contact, the man begging her to sign for it. Noelle wanted to decline the delivery, but there was so much flowers she knew Rick was exhausted bringing them all to her door. If she said no he would have to take them all back. And honestly, Noelle was so sweet even though she was upset, she was afraid of not accepting the gesture. She didn't have to forgive Lotus' behavior but she could still take the flowers.

Noelle signed and Rick helped her bring all the flowers in. There was so much Noelle literally could not take all of them into her apartment. She took a little of each type of flower and ended up giving the rest away to some neighboring apartments and to Rick so he could decorate the lobby with. The rest had to get thrown out. Noelle felt a little bad about that but it was way too much to keep.
