This has taken me a ridiculous amount of time to complete. One whole year in fact, coming off the back of Writer's block and complete loss of enjoyment. I'm not proud of it, but I'm glad I've finished it.
I also wanted to add so much more to this, but unfortunately the word count was through the roof so I had to sacrifice some scenes.

The Prompt: "First flower" and I suppose I could include this last month's prompt as well. "New Beginnings" if memory serves me.
