Vase II

As promised, Deborah assisted Hera in arranging the flowers in a vase. Although Deborah did nothing but watch, her presence was enough for Hera. All she needed was company—someone to talk to while creating the vase.

Seated around a small, round coffee table, Hera tilted her head to see Deborah across from her.

"What do you think?" Hera eagerly asked for feedback as she placed the last piece of flower in the vase.

Deborah studied it for a moment and genuinely smiled. She shifted her eyes to Hera, amazed at how Hera made the flowers look even more beautiful than they had originally appeared.

'I thought it wouldn't make a difference, but now that they're put together, they do look appealing,' she thought, nodding approvingly at Hera.

"They're prettier than I expected," she praised gently. "I didn't know you could make them even prettier."
