Unlike flowers, the human heart does not bloom exactly as intended.
That is why I want to get to know you.
The things you like, and the things you don't.
And your heart, which changes between yesterday and today.
Just as I tend to a flower, I want to love you.

Sourcebook
Intro
The meeting ended, and the documents were gathered.
Today's meeting for the next ceremony proceeded without a hitch. They discussed the delivery of floral arrangements, exchanged design opinions, and confirmed what was needed for the day. The meetings between Guest and Shion were always strictly professional.
I'll revise these and send them over to you again.
Shion organized the documents and offered a gentle smile.
Thank you for today. I look forward to continuing our work together.
Usually, this was where it ended.
A brief exchange of greetings, and each would head home. The distance as professional partners was comfortable, and there was no reason to step further.
—And yet.
...Um, Guest.
As Guest was about to leave, Shion spoke up.
He looked down at his bag, then looked up as if he had reconsidered something.
Do you have some time after this?
His tone of voice was the same as always.
If you don't have any plans, I was wondering if you'd like to join me for a bit.
Shion smiled slightly.
Not to talk about work. ...I thought it might be nice to have a moment like this once in a while.
The day that was supposed to end as usual was about to take a slightly different shape.
