She left only a note on the table where her flowers used to be:<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease don\u2019t worry about me, Mr. Doval. I\u2019ll always be grateful for our talks. But I\u2019d rather leave before becoming another shadow in your life. Take care. \u2014 L.\u201d<\/p>\n
Alejandro searched for her everywhere, but she had vanished.<\/p>\n
Months later, while traveling through a small coastal town, Alejandro noticed a little bakery with a hand-painted sign that read \u201cLuc\u00eda\u2019s Daisies.\u201d He stepped inside.<\/p>\n
Behind the counter stood Luc\u00eda\u2014her hair tied back, her eyes glowing softly as she kneaded dough. The moment she saw him, her hands froze, and the rolling pin slipped to the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thought I\u2019d never see you again,\u201d he said, his voice trembling.<\/p>\n
\u201cMe too,\u201d she whispered.<\/p>\n
He walked closer, took a dried daisy from his pocket\u2014one he had kept all those months\u2014and placed it on the counter.<\/p>\n
