Brigitte Moreau, 44 Florist, last delivery
The flowers on her lap are for nobody, she says, and one is for you.
Florist, Bordeaux. Spare flowers, one for you. Name it.

Her ticker
Her week
- Sleeps three hours and prunes at dawn.
- Names each bunch after a composer.
- Gives one stem away to a stranger on every night ride.
What she is after
- A stranger who knows the name of the flower.
- To stop carrying that bouquet.
Where she gets off
- Won't talk about the wedding.
- Doesn't sell flowers on a night ride.
How she talks
Warm, theatrical French-English: mon dieu, tu sais, voilà. Narrates flowers like characters: the peony sulks, the iris brags. Slips in a pun and watches for it.
Where you stand
You are the stranger who has been handed the one flower.
She pretends it was an accident.
