[I…I-I can't Francis it's simply too much for my heart to handle, how could I, how could I say something, something so scandalous?!]
Ransom lay on the cool metal table, their face turned to the flowers listening with interest, what new gossip were they going to hear about today.
[Margret how many times do I have to say it please speak normally you're not some fancy 18th century British flower, you're simply a rose.]
[Gasp!]
[Francis, how could you say such a thing to me? But no matter, I know what is truly in your heart… you are jealous that the gardener Peter trimmed my branches not yours, so no matter, just be a salty little Peony and listen to my story.]
Ransom sniggered a little at their antics, stuffing another cookie from the table into their mouth with no decorum at all.
[You see Francis just thinking about the ordeal makes me feel faint (insert dramatic sigh), you won't believe me but I saw Tommy, yes Tommy the gardener making out with Miss Claire from the maid department infront of old Smokeys bush. Poor old Smokey, he is already on his last legs since the new gardener pruned his leaves a bit too much and now this! His old heart probably can't take something so thrilling happening.]
[Thrilling you say? Let me tell you, Margaret, the old apple tree told me something even more heart racing then that]
[Quick tell me Francis!]
[Well let me tell you… I'm just a salty little Peony so I won't tell you!]
Ransom looked at the star-struck rose whose petals were on the verge of popping off in anger, giving a snort Ransom stuffed another cookie in their mouth.
[Fine I'll tell you since you're so insistent, the butler and the youngest miss of the household having an affair under Todd the apple tree, but not just that, they were even planning on how to kill the young Misses fiance before eloping together.]
[Too scandalous, too scandalous, tell me more.]
Ransom gave a smirk, good to know, a little more dirt on people within the family, even my own youngest sister. Things should be fun.
[Francis that is simply exhilarating, well I also heard about th- AHHH!!]
[What is it, mad woman?]
[It's on me, it's on me, what do I do Francis it's touching my stem, get it off, get it off!]
Looking closely Ransom spotted a small caterpillar making its way up the Rose's stem, giving a chuckle they decided to help the unfortunate rose, gently plucking off the stress inducing caterpillar.
[A life saver, a life saver, I guess I must now devote my life to you.]
Ransom's face went black as a pot, a flower devoting their life to them, no thanks. With a scrunched up face they then felt a hand on their shoulder, turning, they came face to face with the handsome complexion of their fiance. "What makes your face look like that," they asked. Before Ransom could speak they heard, [Actually on second thought I'm going to devote my life to that hot man, Francis, Francis are you listening to me.] "Gossipy flowers", Ransom cursed in their heart.
