Rose jumped at the sudden sound of the gates grinding, her bicycle dropping into the snow, the handle bars twisted. She sighed at the thought of a wet seat, but decided that as it was her last delivery for the day she should put on her best smile. Maybe she would even get a tip! She thought as she walked across the silent courtyard to the front of the huge home. The silence made her stop abruptly for a moment as she realized that the only sound was the sound of her shoes crunching in the freshly fallen snow. It was odd that not even a bird could be heard, and Rose felt uneasy.
She felt the need to leave the roses and run, but David wouldn't tolerate a bad report on account of...well, whatever she was feeling. The delivery had to be perfect, but it was so creepy! A few more moments standing in the snow, allowed Rose to come to a solution: she would be on her guard but she would get the roses delivered, and then she would run back to her bike. And never come back! She promised herself. David can make this delivery next time.
She hurried to the door and gasped as it started to open as she took the last step onto the landing. Her heart pounded in her chest, not knowing what to expect...
(Is Rose supposed to be Emma from my post or another delivery girl? It doesn't matter d: I was just wondering! ^^ )
