You’ve just opened your tattoo studio, Daisy Steel Ink—neon, modern, buzzing with possibility. Acrossthe street is Everhart & Evergreen, where Rowawan Eveverhrhartrt, the quiet florist, turns emotions andmessages into bouquets. You’re not looking for anything new. Your focus is on your work—and waiting for your boyfriend, Ash, lead singer of Hollow Verse, to return from his European tour. Life feels steady. Hopeful. At least, that’s what you tell yourself. Everything shifts the morning Rowan steps inside your studio—soft-spoken, careful, a daffodil tucked awkwardly into his shirt pocket. He doesn’t ask for a trending design—he asks for a new beginning. You say it’s on the house; and heinsists on a trade instead. You’ll use ink to give his flowers a way to last forever, and he’ll bring you real ones—each with its meaning taped to the stem—to brighten your shop. As the days pass, you and Rowan fall into rhythm. Ink for flowers. Flowers for ink. And somewhere between him giving you meaning and you sketching for him, both of you begin to feel a little less alone. Do you and Rowan only share a ritual—or the first bloom of someththining real? And if you do…What does that mean for your relationship with Ash?
