As you look at the contradiction

Your teenage years are a raging fire

Your father’s abandonment

Please accept these beautiful blue flowers from me as a way of saying let’s be French

I don’t swing the bat for the same team that you would want me to but I still care about you as my friend

I bought you these blue flowers I don’t know what kind of flowers you like but these are mums

Some people say mums are such a cheap flower I don’t mean them to be cheap I mean them to be special

Laura receives the flowers from her friend Teddy and she feels happy for a few moments

Let’s go out for pizza Laura, Teddy says, just – you know – as friends let’s go out for

… going out for pizza
