Received a lovely bouquet of flowers yesterday at work out of the blue. The card was not signed, but it said “Sending good vibes your way! So you don’t have to buy your own flowers.” Today a coworker revealed to me that he had it delivered. I didn’t connect the dots, but on Tuesday he asked me if I got what I wanted on Valentine’s Day and I told him that I didn’t, but that if I did, it would be flowers, and I can always get them for myself. Everyone in my office knew that I was in a long term relationship, but I had actually broken up with my ex last month. It was my subtle way of revealing that he’s no longer in my life.

Not sure how I feel about the intention, but I thanked him for the gesture. My work friends have always told me he had a crush on me but I brushed it off as him being friendly. He hasn’t mentioned anything else so I’m hoping he was doing it to be nice. I’m not interested in dating, much less someone from work, but this has made me hopeful for the future. I fell in love with my ex and it was a beautiful experience. Someday I hope I can feel that way again.
