I was tagged by @writer-ish to create my detective/oc with this meiker and then give her a poisonous flower by taking this quiz!
This was so fun, thank you for tagging me! Tagging: viewers like you 🫵
Here's an off duty, farmers' market visiting Rose, side eyeing Nate (affectionately) because he keeps asking if she needs water, or needs to reapply sunscreen, or if she needs help carrying her bags. She sends him on a mission to go get lemonade.

This is the poison of giving too much. You feel yourself emptying out, dizzying, discoloring-- until you fear you will fade entirely and wither away. You have always had to give. You never had a choice before. They pluck your flowers for their beauty, they trample your leaves carelessly, they pull out your roots by the fistful and berate you for daring to grow. And now that you have a grove to spread out in, your rhizomes tangle and curl in on themselves. When cruelty is all you've ever known, thriving seems impossible. But the answer is not to make yourself small and offer every lovely thing you are to the world in the hopes it will have mercy on you. The answer is to let yourself dare to thrive for thriving's sake, to grow in the wild ways you wish to-- and to do that for yourself for once.
