Unexpected gift

To receive a gift is always pleasant, and from a loved one it is doubly. So my friend Vera thought, meeting with a man, is much older than her. Acquainted with the chosen one in the reserved seat of the train, when I returned home from a business trip. The man took his place on the lower shelf, and Vera had the upper one. She did not expect that someone would give her a place, still young, recently celebrated the fortieth anniversary. But the man was educated and polite, immediately offered her the upper shelf, than he arranged for himself.

The man introduced himself as Vitaly Petrovich, the accountant of an enterprise. Communication with Vitaly Petrovich was pleasant, he told that he very much loves nature, flowers, children, but still has no family and therefore in many respects feels unrealized. For Vera, this was a chance to meet a man for serious meetings, albeit with a delay of a couple of decades. After meeting on the train, they began to meet. Mostly walking around the city, in the park. Vitali did not invite me to a restaurant or a cafe, but he mentioned in conversations that the best food was cooked at home. Faith, considering - this is a hint, invited Vitaly to his home on his birthday. In addition to Vitaly Vera invited her friends and colleagues to work, she wanted to show that there are changes in her personal life. All the guests, except Vitaly, came earlier and when the doorbell rang, everyone was in the hallway and watched as Vera met the guest. Vitaly came in with a room-style scarlet flower and a small box. He handed the flower, and said that this is the most healing flower, which must come in handy, and in the box, and a gift. Girlfriends watched as Vera opened the box and said: "Nobody gave me this gift yet!". The box contained bulbs and flower seeds. " Vera thanked her for the gift, invited everyone to the table. It was fun at the birthday, only Vera had a sad face.
