For years Steven had essentially been locked up inside Marc’s mind unknowingly, of course he caught blips, little pieces of Marc’s life, and short memories that Marc purposely shoved down to the deepest depths of their brain, yet even now with Steven fronting on his own much more often he still was missing so much.

Steven had yet to experience any holidays, though knowing Marc wasn’t exactly a fan of any of them, he still wanted to see them for himself, feel them for himself. Even though Marc and Layla hadn’t really celebrated Valentine's Day during their marriage, Steven still felt he was missing out.

Which of course is when you come in, Steven’s first real partner, he didn’t get you all to himself, but despite sharing you with Marc and Jake, Steven knew he was your very best friend, taking out romance completely you had always been close with him. Making him feel special and loved when he needed it most, and now he has the privilege to replace “love” with “my love” when speaking to you.

Steven just had to make this day special for you. Marc had his day earlier in the month, Jake planned for next weekend but Steven, Steven insisted he get the 14th. He needed the full experience even if it meant fighting with Donna to get off work early on a Wednesday afternoon.

Steven spent all of Tuesday night at the shops, getting chocolate and your favorite snacks, options just in case you didn’t like the snacks or candy you did previously.

He loaded everything up into a pink basket, half believing it was actually an easter basket. Steven ignored the suspicious feeling about the basket though, dismissing it as unimportant before moving on to buy two of the books on your TBR, ignoring every mirror in the place and snarky remarks from Marc and sarcastic jokes from Jake about Steven outdoing both of them.

It’s only Valentine’s Day, Steven.

But it was so much more than that.

But he did ditch the easter basket.

What Steven had yet to realize was that you thought so too.

Today was just as special for you as it was for Steven, because of Steven, actually.

Yes, you had loved the sweet night in with just you and Marc, but with Steven and Jake, you had planned for just a little more, it was practically Steven’s first Valentine’s Day, it had to be special, just like your Steven was.

You had hung heart-shaped decorations up on the few lights in Steven’s apartment, a vinyl you had just bought him on the record player playing softly in the background as you threw a few rose petals across the kitchen counter opting that it would be an easier cleanup then anywhere else in Steven’s cluttered (but of course, comfy) apartment.

Looking around you were pretty stumped on what to add for decor, before deciding to rummage through some of Steven's cabinets in hopes you'd find a vase, if so, you could buy him flowers, you couldn't think of anyone who would love them more.

“Yes!” you shouted happily as you found a vase hidden behind the bowls, now why would he have them with the bowls? You ignored the questions in your head and seemingly missed the sound of the front door opening and closing due to all of your excitement.

“Oh my days” that you heard, the sound of Steven’s voice filled with surprise and adoration filled your ears as you turned around, not even attempting to hide your disappointment in not being able to get Steven any flowers but the moment you laid eyes on his wide eyes, and agape mouth all of it melted away, quickly replaced by a smile.

“Surprise!” You lifted your arms as if to gesture to your surroundings as Steven finally turned to look at you. “Oh, my love, this is” He paused as he looked around again before continuing. “This is incredible.”

You gasped at the flowers in his hands, rushing over to him and pecking his cheek before taking them from him and quickly rushing back to your vase. Well, Steven’s vase really but finders keepers and all that.

Steven looked back at you, almost in a daze as he followed your movements into the kitchen. “You got off early, I wanted to get you flowers but-” Steven cut you off as you set the pretty bouquet in the glass, “We can share” he abandoned the bag of miscellaneous snacks on petal covered counter and instead used his hands to pull you away from the fresh flowers by your waist.

“Happy V-day, Stevie” You smiled at him, earning one back in return. “All this for me?” Steven’s voice was quieter now that you were closer, soft eyes gazing at you most lovingly.

“It’s your first Valentine’s Day, had to make it special for you.”

Steven responded with a hug this time, shoving his face in the crook of your neck as your hands moved to hold onto his old grandpa sweater.

“Hey, are there any sour strips in that bag?” You asked, words muffled by his shoulder as he chuckled, leaning back just enough to see that look in your eyes that matched his perfectly.

“Of course, there is, love.” “Oh, he loves me!” Your excited words earned an actual laugh this time and a nod of agreement. “I grabbed as many of your favorites as I could remember, only the best for my first Valentine,” Steven said, releasing his hold on you to begin emptying the bag of goodies. You didn’t take too long to join his side, quiet ohs and ahs as he set everything in front of you.

“I was planning on cooking tonight, surprise you with dinner when you got off, but now maybe we could do it together, yeah?” Your soft tone only added to his smile.

“What’s for dinner, my love?”

Shenzhen Flower Show 2024

It is a common knowledge that April is the first month of spring which signifies the rejuvenation of nature and the flourish of various kinds of colorful flowers. Living in a modern concrete jungle, city dwellers may not have much opportunity to appreciate the beauty of blossom. Attending some floral events could be a great way for urban residents to get close to mother nature. It is undoubted that the annual Hong Kong Flower Show is the most prestigious outdoor horticultural exhibition in the city. Since long ago, I have made it a habit of visiting this flower show once every year. In order to broaden my own horizon and gain more knowledge about garden decorating, I made a short trip to a neighboring city where an extensive floral show was held during the Easter holiday in April 2024.

Only separated by a river, Shenzhen is an adjacent city of Hong Kong. Crowned as a National Forest City, the city planning of Shenzhen has realized the integrated development of urban and rural areas, which striking a balance between human and nature. From late March till early April, the Greater Bay Area Flower Exhibition was taken place in three different locations, including Shenzhen Bijiashan Sports Park, Lianhuashan Park, and Xiangxi Flower Wonderland. With the theme of “Green and Beautiful Bay Area, Poetic and Flourishing Blooms”, delphinium is the theme flower of the show this year, and which symbolizes joy, goodwill and protection. The charming blue-colored delphiniums have compound leaves with several palm-shaped lobes, which makes it stand out from other flowers.

Different from the one held in Hong Kong, Shenzhen Flower Show was more or less like a special open week of public parks instead of a meticulously organized floral event. There was no entrance fee for the show and sightseers were allowed to hang around as long as they liked. When you got tired, you could take some rest in the camping site of the park and buy some light snacks or coffee from the food trucks nearby. Although plenty of lovely flowers were demonstrated in the venue, only a limited number of landscape displays could be found in the exhibition venue. Visitors could buy a various kinds of pot plants, flower seeds and other floriculture tools from the floral dealers on site; however, the number of exhibiting florists in Shenzhen was way fewer than that in Hong Kong.

As one of the three exhibition venues, Lianhuashan Park is equipped with modern and user-friendly facilities, such as touch screen multimedia information boards, novel outdoor fitness equipment and hygienic accessible toilets. It is a perfect greenbelt area for parents spending quality time with their young kids. One may easily spend a leisure afternoon strolling along the riverside trail of the park. A mega size shopping mall named Shum Yip Upperhills is in close proximity to the park. A wide variety of restaurants and shops can be found inside the mall. The whole family may have a sumptuous meal there after visiting the flower show. Since the mall is located above a subway station, shoppers can travel to another location with ease.

It was quite a valuable experience for me to take an excursion to mainland China. Although there were so many differences between the flower show held in Shenzhen and the one in Hong Kong, both exhibitions provided me with an opportunity to appreciate different types of flowers and plants from around the world, which enrich my knowledge in vegetation.
