Alec started to tell her about his conversation with Tristan about goals, but then he hesitated. Daizi seemed to be feeling better, but what if she was putting on a good face for him? He didn't want to burden her with his troubles when she had so many of her own no matter how much she said he could. What if she was feeling really delicate, and if she didn't have an answer or something she would take it too hard? Maybe he'd wait to make sure she was actually feeling better before talking about that.
"It was a really good day," he said instead, and he was not lying. "It was a little rocky a couple of times, but overall it evened out to a good day. I think I did well in school today. Our English teacher handed out a pop quiz, and I almost aced it!" He told her more about school, the fun things that had happened, about Becky and Tom getting into the next play, about all the random gossip. There were still a few stories about Dark floating around, but not as many as there used to be. Now he was being commemorated into legend!
Then he told her about work, about all the odd customers that had come in, the nice ones and the weird ones. One lady had insisted on smelling each individual bloom before accepting a bouquet and had even rejected a couple for smelling "wrong." Tistan had accommodated her even though it had held him up a bit. Another one had tried to return a bouquet that had been bought weeks ago. The return had been politely but firmly refused. One lady tried to return a vase that Tristan would have refunded her for... except it hadn't been bought at his store. It was from Walmart. She'd at least looked incredibly embarrassed and didn't push the issue.
