Refusal

The "unforeseen circumstances" were that the flowers were refused.
That means that at least they got there to be refused, so hopefully at least the message that I'm still here was delivered.  It's impossible for me to time delivery in such a way that it can be guaranteed that she will get them, and that the flowers are not intercepted by her parents.

Another possibility haunts me, and that is that she did get them, and it was her that refused the flowers.  I see no reason for her to do so, but it is a possibility, and just imagining it almost makes me panic.
I don't think she would give up so easily, and there are a number of reasons for her to reject the flowers beside not wanting my attention.

If she does tell me she wants nothing to do with me, I will leave her alone, of course.  I'm sticking around mostly because she specifically told me to.  I've made a commitment to her, and I'm not walking away from that.

I have to believe she is also hanging on for a kinder tomorrow.
