As days passed.
The garden began to grow.
The garden began to change.
Tiny green shoots turned into blooming colors.
And so did something between Rose and Yichen, something stronger....
They laughed more,
Talked more.
Understood each other without words.
One day, Yichen brought a small plant.
"I saw this and thought of your garden."
She said "our garden" made him smile, she continued "you chose this?"
He nodded.
"Let's plant it together."
They planted it together, their hands brushed with each other's hand.
No one moved away.
"Rose...." He said quietly.
"Yes?"
"I think...I like being here."
She looked at him with a smile.
"Me too."
But what they didn't say...
Was louder than everything else.
