"Of course."  He replied.  Her request had not been hard at all, after all.  He looked around.  The garden had already been there when he bought the place, but it had been in very bad shape.  He had hired people to take care of it and after these years, it had bloomed and become beautiful as it was intended to be.  He picked a nearby rose and went over to Karen. 

With a lift of the rose, he asked, "May I?"  If allowed he would tuck it near her ear.
