Practical

Violet had received a lot of flowers in her life but never from anyone outside of her family or close family friends. Jeremy had certainly surprised her.

Maybe she was reading too much into it but he brought her red roses. Red roses symbolized passion, romance, and love. Surely someone as well-educated as him would be aware of that.

That on top of the fact that he asked her out a second time…did he like her? It had been a long time since a man had shown interest in her that way. She couldn't deny her heart raced when Jeremy held out the roses to her.

But could Violet really find her long-awaited romance in her father's assistant? She supposed getting trapped in an elevator together could be considered one of those cliché fateful encounters.

Hadn't there been an old, cheesy Christmas movie rerun she saw once where that exact thing happened? Except in that movie, there had been mistletoe in the elevator and the male and female leads ended up kissing.
