Two sinners can't atone from a lone prayer. . Souls tied, intertwined by our pride and guilt”

Well. . .

Would anyone care for some mint tea?”

-customers bring me different flavors of Italian sodas throughout the day.

It's silly, but sometimes appreciation matters more than monetary gain."

Patting his leather gloved hand, the grower felt warm in herself to know that her work was appreciated by all walks of life.

"Ummmm, well..."

Looking to the sun that fully grew over the horizon, Kora had to think for a moment. And then, it hit her.

"Ah! I know.
If you ever find yourself down this road in the future, I usually like a white hot chocolate and a croissant, nothing fancy.

In the summer, returning -

He looks at the tiny wreath in his hand then back up at the woman in front of him, his eyes alight. A wild instinct seizes him.

"A returning customer only if you permit me to buy you something. A coffee. A meal. Anything."

“Absolutely not.”

And with all of her bravery, the woman took the bikers hand and placed the tiny wreath inside of it.

"It was a small thing I made just by happenstance, and I make them occasionally, but I would prefer you to have this.

Besides, it means you'll be a returning customer!"

Aides [retired account] @aidesunderworld.bsky.social · Dec 17

He smiles as he nods, tracing the circle in her palm before looking up at her, holding her eyes.

"I do like it. And I insist you allow me to pay for it."

For some reason, it is important he recompense her, not take advantage.

"Uh-huh!

Pine bark, evergreen needles, cranberries; all from my own backyard. And if you wanted to, you could hang it from the headlight of your bike."

Kora was all smiles; maybe she should make smaller ones for rearview mirrors and the like. They were less work than the major ones

"You like it?"

Aides touches it with a careful finger, worried he might break it.

-the winter season.

And no, this won't cost you anything."

With the small wreath in her palm, she graciously offered with a beaming, closed lip smile.

- here. She was fiddling with it prior.

Murmurs, grunts, groans and faint faux curses, the summery red head found her conquest!

"AH HA!'

A hand shot up to show the miniature of the item in question.

"Here we are..."

She started as she returned to the biker in all smiles.

"A faint touch of-

“A wreath?!”

Looking over his bike, Kora soon begzn to tap at her own lip with a wandering idea.
And then, like a sunflower popping open for the first time, she sprung to an idea.

The fair botanist shuffled over to the fruit stand, and through a box under the wooden shelf, she knew it had to be-

Aides [retired account] @aidesunderworld.bsky.social · Dec 4

However, his forte isn't exactly... living things.

He sees the wreaths and looks at her, questioningly.

"If I bought one of those, can I just take one of the flowers from it, and you keep the rest?"

His statement about pomegranates made her nose slightly wrinkles up with unease.

"Pomegranates are a complex fruit, as you can see from why I failed at growing them."

"Not exactly.
I have poinsettia starts for those who have a somewhat useful hand at growing. But uh...."

Hazel green eyes looked at the back of his bike and the already small space.

"I don't think you'll be taking anything like that with you today, sir. Maybe another day or when you have a car."-

Aides [retired account] @aidesunderworld.bsky.social · Dec 1

Aides can't help but snort, if only to dispel that note of defeat that just does not belong in the voice of someone so ebullient.

"And so it should. Pomegranates aren't worth your time. Terrible fruit, all seeds and sourness."

He gives her smile.

"Do you have flowers in your bounty today?"

"What do I grow?"

That's when she turned sheepish upon handling over the fruits of her mother's labor. Kora kept her eyes to the road of passing cars.

"I grow flowers. Grouds. Apples. I've tried growing pomegranates but have failed at every attempt to where I just gave up."

A laugh of defeat but-

"You never know.."

His smile is a faint quirk as he hands over another $5 & takes possession of his strawberries.

Her enthusiasm is... endearing. Aides realizes: while the berries are her mother's harvest, he hasn't bought anything of her's. And he wants to.

"Uh... Which fruits did 𝑦𝑜𝑢 grow?"

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞 @atesixseeds.bsky.social · Dec 1

It took her a moment, but soon, the grower began to sniff above the fruit as she weighed out the aroma to get a mental taste.

"These!"

Kora said ecstatically as he offered the bunch in her right hand to the man.

"I do hope you don't plan on eating an entire bushel right here."

She jests.

Aides chews his lip, torn between the impossible choice in front of him. Tempted though he is to take them 𝑏𝑜𝑡ℎ, he doesn't want to crush them in the saddle bag.

"Which ones are the sweetest?"

He lifts his gaze to the lady, eyes flitting over her face as he waits for her.

𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞 @atesixseeds.bsky.social · Nov 29

-both to the man.

"Two of what I think is the best of the pick, which one would you like?"

It was so nice to have somebody who actually wanted to buy from her stand.

Occasionally, people would come by with their kids and bite and apple or two, but this was something new altogether!
