I said orange-
Dear Mysterious Stranger,
I must admit, when I received your note I was a bit hesitant to respond, but a friend of mine helped me to remember that strangers don't have to stay that way...I'd love to continue talking to you, if that is what you wish-I'm curious to get to know more about you. I wonder, what was the meaning of the black rose you gave me? It was a very nice gesture, but I do speculate over the intent behind it.
I await your response,
Virgil.
Virgil-his name was Virgil....
Dear Virgil,
I'm glad you responded. Nothing behind the rose. Just think it's pretty. Though I guess if it were to have a meaning it would be joy. Before you say that's not what they represent, they're actually something from a moment of joy in my life so to me that is what they mean to me. Feel free to interperet them how you like though. What about your chrysanthemum? It means delicate love.
Dee
