She had been beyond thrilled to receive the beautiful bouquet of roses from her husband. She had told him repeatedly throughout their twenty years together. Her favorite flower was the rose. Each occasion that might have prompted flowers, she anticipated the roses. They never came. Until now. She was ecstatic. She called him at work to thank him. When his secretary answered, she had asked if Mona had liked the roses she had picked out for her. Her heart sank. She should have know she wasn’t important enough for him to pick them out for her. She should have known.

Oh no. I think this couple may be in trouble if they don’t work on communication! Ladies gotta remember that gents have memories like sieves and they DO need to be told again and again. Gents gotta remember our eyes are up here and, also, we like it when you listen when we talk!

Talk about disillusionment! The secretary could have been a little more discreet.

Well now she knows for certain, perhaps he should make his own tea and do his own laundry etc for a while.
At least he had the occasion in his secretary’s diary.

Dear Corina,
What a sad one. If only he’d known what it would mean to her. Even though she’s told him, it doesn’t mean he remembers. Nicely done.
Shalom,
Rochelle

This is sad beyond words. The worst part is I feel he had them sent because he is otherwise occupied with someone else…

I was immediately suspicious of the secretary/boss. Why would she spill the beans to the wife? Huh. . .
On the other hand, at least he remembered to tell his secretary to get his wife some roses.

Makes me wonder why roses now after all of this time. Some guys buy women presents when they’ve done wrong. Knowing the secretary did all of the work to send them would make me even more suspicious. I feel sorry for the woman.
