As he approached closer, he saw an elderly lady watering the plant with her usual smile and gentle touch. Turns out she was just a neighborhood volunteer who tended to flowers around town.

Startled awake by the honk, they sheepishly waved and mumbled something about needing ‘just five more minutes.’ The delivery driver chuckled, shook his head, and walked into the clinic, leaving behind one less customer for breakfast that day.
