"What is it about roses that intrigues you so?" he asked, gently brushing his warm thumb along her cheekbone.
She gazed down at the crimson flower clutched in her hands, lightly running her fingers along the soft petals.
"With its rich colour, smooth petals, and soft curves, it is mesmerizing. But with its sharp thorns, it is powerful. It commands your attention and its scent overpowers the other flowers effortlessly. What intrigues me is how it can be both beautiful and dangerous all at once. It can bring you joy but it can cause you just as much pain. It is the queen of the garden."
He laughed lightly, causing her to glance up at him in surprise, "why are you laughing?"
"Because, my love," he pressed a long kiss on her forehead, "you have just described yourself perfectly."
