He felt awful for having left her to handle all his matters on her own while still tending to Lucy, so he started looking for ways to make up to her.

He smiled as he handed them over to her. "You have worked so hard."

She noticed a box of chocolate amid the flowers, which she took with a brilliant smile. "They are lovely. Thank you."

"This is for you." He gave the box to her which she opened curiously.
