I hate that we find out about Easy on the same chapter he dies.
What do you mean there is a black brother believing he's the Florian the Fool reborn? I wanted to see more of him!! Did he talk about his supposed former life to his fellow brothers? Did he try to give the younger NW members ( aka Jon and his friends) love advice by recalling his romance with Jonquil? Sam would be sympathetic towards him (bless his kind soul) and Jon pissed off with all the talk about romantic love (but maybe all this talk about Florian the Fool would remind him that Robb used to play that hero when they were kids) and Dolorous Edd would somehow vibe with Easy.
Also, it's a crime Easy never got to meet Sansa aka the number 1 fangirl of Florian and Jonquil! They could easily become besties.

Jonquil Tower is a symbol of romantic love. Caraxes cry smahing all windows is a symbol of broken heart of Daemon.
That's intentionally written to be romantic, as if it were Daemon himself screaming at her leaving.
I know we can find other explanations but this one is simplest and most likely. Why would George add all these details if didn't intend us to think about romance?
And especially if all other clues fit together to a romantic picture?
Singers compared the sudden marriage of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen and Queen Alysanne Targaryen to the great romance of Jonquil and Florian the Fool.
Florian the Fool saw Jonquil at a pool of water where she and her sisters were bathing and she fell in love with him. The site of their story and their love is a pool, not a tower. In the town of Maidenpool, there is a bathhouse called Jonquil's Pool. The tower is called Jonquil's Tower only because the entire town is dedicated to her, but the traditional and object of love symbolism is a pool of water. If GRRM wanted this to be a romantic thing, he could have chosen a much better location.
Finally, there is much too much reason more for me to believe that they didn't have an affair than this one small, easily argued-against detail, which loses its already infinitesimal significance after considering all the arguments against DawmonxNettles before the Jonquil Tower bit. I already gave a link about it, by darklinaforever, who compiled a list by several bloggers.

The king’s first progress was meant to be a modest one, commencing with the crownlands north of King’s Landing and proceeding only as far as the Vale of Arryn. Jaehaerys wanted Alysanne with him, but as Her Grace was with child, he was concerned that their journeys not be too taxing. They began with Stokeworth and Rosby, then moved north along the coast to Duskendale. There, whilst the king viewed Lord Darklyn’s boatyards and enjoyed an afternoon of fishing, the queen held the first of her women’s courts, which were to become an important part of every royal progress to come. Only women and girls were welcome at these audiences; highborn or low, they were encouraged to come forward and share their fears, concerns, and hopes with the young queen.
The journey went without incident until the king and queen reached Maidenpool, where they were to be the guests of Lord and Lady Mooton for a fortnight before sailing across the Bay of Crabs to Wickenden, Gulltown, and the Vale. The town of Maidenpool was far famed for the sweetwater pool where legend had it that Florian the Fool had first glimpsed Jonquil bathing during the Age of Heroes. Like thousands of other women before her, Queen Alysanne wished to bathe in Jonquil’s pool, whose waters were said to have amazing healing properties. The lords of Maidenpool had erected a great stone bathhouse around the pool many centuries before, and given it over to an order of holy sisters. No men were allowed to enter the premises, so when the queen slipped into the sacred waters, she was attended only by her ladies-in-waiting, maids, and septas (Edyth and Lyra, who had served beside Septa Ysabel as novices, had both recently sworn their vows to become septas, consecrated in the Faith and devoted to the queen).
Fire and Blood, by George R.R. Martin pg 198
