She
says
sells
flowers
for
a
living
.
Is
always
happy
to
see
me
and
reads
books
too
.
It
’s
her
smile
that
gets
me
-
so
always
there
;
so
obliging.
No
flower
lasts
for
that
long
.
So
I
went
in
to
get
some
blossoms
for
Marree.
“
A
sweet
heart
?”
she
asked
“Hardly”
I
said
“
Well
what
’s
her
favourite
colour
then
?”
I
raised eyebrows
in
return
and
added “
Your
guess
is
as
good
as
mine
...”
When
I
came
back
later
I
asked
her
“
So
what
’s
all
this
then
?”
“Don’t
worry
yourself
about
that
”
she
said
.
Marree
loved
them
Maybe
more
than
half
as
much
as
me
.
Next
morning
I
reported
my
success.
Everyone
had
a
win
and
a
blossom…if
only
on
the
cheeks
.
