I got emotional over my mom Maggie earlier with flowers so here are some soft au about if Maggie was a florist.
Maggie is a struggling as a waitress a long time, but when Curtis left town things only got a lot worse. Basically to the point where she had to get a second job.
The local florist who was a older woman in town new a lot about everyone. How could she not when everyone talked to her because she was just one of those people you felt like you could open up to.
Anyways she’s a dedicated customer at the diner and overhears Maggie on the phone with Gordo one night trying to work something out so he could watch Ox while she pick up the late shift.
When the phone call ends Maggie goes back to cleaning the tables until her customer, the florist, asks for a refill.
Maggie gives her a soft tired smile and goes to get it. When she comes back the florist asks her to sit down.
Maggie is quite confused because she doesn’t really know anyone here still but she does as she’s asked.
Well they get into conversing and The lady finds out that this is Curtis wife. Well ex wife now. She new him only a little bit but even in that short time she didn’t like him. He would come in with the stench of alcohol clinging to him and buy a random set of bouquets. She always felt sorry for the poor man. She doesn’t now anymore that she’s met Maggie.
By the end of the conversation Maggie is offered a job. She’s so surprised she starts crying. The florist is hold her hand and tells her it’s going to be alright.
When Maggie starts training the next week she was in awe. She’s always loved pretty things and now that’s she’s surrounded by them she feels so relaxed.
She feels in her element and gets the rules and her duties down easily. She’s like a pro and the florist is very impressed by her.
The florists tells her how to make certain bouquets and what certain flowers mean and Maggie soaks all the information in like a sponge. It’s so fascinating to her and she’s loves being able to tell little Ox all about the new flowers.
Anyways as time goes on and months pass the florist offers her a full time job. Maggie wants to cry because this wonderful sweet woman has done so much for her.
Well she ends up accepting and the florist makes her a manager and everything is still the same except that Maggie no longer works at the diner. Though she frequently visits it because her friends still work there and doesn’t just want them to think she abandon them.
Maggie now gets to work with beautiful flowers all day while sweet soft music fills the store without a care in the world.
She’s even more happy because she can spend more time with her son who has grown a love for flowers.
