287%u201cI can%u2019t say I know how you feel, but I truly am very saddened. I realise you grieve and your mood is dark because of this. To help provide the best service I can for you, I must make some notes. Don%u2019t, please, worry about costs. I assure you that I will provide a first class and caring service below the price and the quality of any other local flower provider. First, I will need your full name?%u201d%u201cOf course, Kenneth. Kenneth Barnett.%u201dShe stopped writing and looked up at him. A tear fell from her eye. %u201cIt was your wife, Edith, that was tragically killed by the police car?%u201dHe nodded.She stood up took a step and knelt before him, taking his hand in both of hers. Her face looked up at him, her eyes streaming with tears as she said, %u201cKen. Let me tell you something. People no longer believe in heaven or hell but I am convinced they both exist. This Earth might be an extension of hell itself, but I%u2019m sure your lovely Edith is immortal, and not merely at peace%u2014but in bliss.%u201dShe stood up, took a step back, and sat in her chair. %u201cI%u2019m sure she has many loving friends. But buying ever-expensive bouquets in an endeavour to show their love is a silly thing. Often, less is more. I am not in business with flowers to make loads of money but because flowers bring joy and reduce sadness at less joyous events.%u201dShe wiped her eyes.He could not stop looking at her. %u201cI%u2019m stunned by your reaction. I never expected someone so nice. But I have saddened you. I%u2019m very sorry.%u201d%u201cSadness is not something you have cast upon me. I simply feel yours.%u201d She told him. %u201cShall we talk about some details, but we do not have to do this today. I understand your Edith died just one week ago. There%u2019s no rush.%u201dThe Devil Drops By
