Chapter 78 shade of roses

Under the shade of roses, on the clothes and on the pages of the book, the sun shone at the bottom of the leaves.I picked one off, and waited—wait, the deep red petals matched her snow-white clothes just right.Sitting on the cold stone steps——sitting, waiting for her not to come, only smelling the fragrance of roses in her hands!
