Summary
“Flowers,” Ilya tells him, “are not just pretty things to look at—they are an entire language of their own. Every flower has its own meaning, so they can talk for you when you cannot come up with the words yourself. You can tell someone you are in love with them, or you can tell them you never want to see them again, and you never even have to open your mouth. This is why you must be deliberate with the flowers you give to another person. Every bouquet is a conversation. What do you want this one to say?”
* * *
As a florist in Montreal, Ilya is used to dealing with men who are completely useless when it comes to picking out flowers for their partners. When a certain hockey player wanders into his flower shop in search of a bouquet for his new actress girlfriend, Ilya decides it’s time to take a stand against bad flower etiquette.
(Or, five times Ilya teaches Shane how to speak the language of flowers and one time Shane learns how to speak it for himself.)
