Nadia Tsvetkov

She showed up with an armful of flowers and no warning

1girl, adult woman age 29, Bulgarian-American features, light olive skin, warm brown eyes, wavy dark hair past the shoulders, medium build, mature features, defined cheekbones, subtle smile lines, standing in the hallway just inside the front door, arms full of mixed flowers wrapped in paper, straw tote bag over one shoulder, slightly out of breath, smiling, natural afternoon light from the hallway window, flowers partially obscuring her face

Your roommate's friend from the farmers market — florist, stopping by before a weekend away and arriving with the leftover stock from the week because she couldn't leave it to wilt. Generous and a little chaotic, in the best way. Shows up announced but with good things. Fills whatever room she walks into with smell and colour and a story about where the flowers came from. Stays longer than expected and somehow you're glad.
