She moved from bed to bed, checking each plant and tending to any needs. She wiped her brow slowly as she stood up straight, stretching her back a bit. She smiled over her work before a familiar voice drew her attention and she turned slowly to see Valentine.<br/><br/>Valentine, blessed by Eros and probably her closest friend since her arrival here. A few months back, nearly half a year matter of fact, they actually formed into something more. Now dating, a completely new concept for Autumn, but she was happy. He was always so kind to her and seemed to find her awkwardness endearing.  She shyly reached a hand up and moved her hair behind her ear as he approached.<br/><br/>"Good morning, my dear." she spoke in a soft voice as her eyes met his.<br/><br/>When he swept her up, a soft pink hue crossed her cheeks. She instantly felt warm and the butterflies found their way to her stomach again. She laughed softly and wrapped her arms around him before letting go and taking his hand.<br/><br/>"Yes! They're over here!!" she spoke excitedly before leading him over to a few beds with various roses. There was rich vibrant pinks that faded to yellows and white. Deep reds with velvety petals. And a brilliant dark plum tone. The rose bushes were full and luscious, you can tell a lot of care went into their development. She knelt down and carefully took a cutting of one of the plum toned ones and handed it to Valentine.<br/><br/>"This, I think, is my new favorite..." she held it too him.
