I walked into the greenhouse and the smell of fresh flowers just came at me. I think I made the right choice of coming here; the warmth and bright colors is so relaxing, especially after hearing the good news. I set my backpack on the little table and started doing my usual thing.

An hour later, I was finished. A smile naturally came upon my face along with the feel of accomplishment. I gently placed the spray bottle down and sunk into the chair.
