Julianna beamed at him. Less conscious of policing her expression. She didn't feel the need quite honestly when she was so damn delighted. It lit up her entire face, which is not to say she wasn't looking particularly radiant before. "Thank you," she replied with a bit of a giggle. A response for both his compliment and the gift. "You always look wonderful." She stepped away from the door, bouquet in hand, to allow him entry. "But I'm very much enjoying a bit of color on you."
The light fabric of the dress billowed and swayed around her feet as she walked. It was as if some kind of clever magic was keeping the whole thing from unraveling or revealing too much. "I'm going to get a vase for these flowers," she explained as she moved towards the kitchen. Leaving him to look around as he liked.
Plants took up most of the livable space inside her house. Ficus sat in large pots on the floor. Succulents and cacti lined the windowsills. Long vines of ivy and spider plants hung from the ceiling, spilling out of their planters. A giant aloe plant marked the entry to the kitchen. Unsurprisingly the space was not free of plants. Herbs hung on the walls in specialized planters she'd fashioned into a vertical garden. The scents of thyme, and mint and rosemary lingered permanently in the kitchen as if she were always cooking something.
She'd found a vase made of iridescent glass that shifted colors in the light. Julianna unwrapped her bouquet and settled the plants in the vase after filling it with some water. They already seemed more vibrant from her touch. She looked up when Owen entered the kitchen. "Oh! Thank you!" She seemed surprised that he was complimenting her house. Julianna had heard many times that it was all...too much, but she didn't care.
"I'm ready to go if you are. Let me just grab my purse."

I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet) I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true) and it’s you are whatever a moon has always meant and whatever a sun will always sing is you.
