Sometimes Merry was a puzzle to her. Four years of marriage and he'd only ever given her the occasional flower for her birthday or anniversary, but this...
Estella knew he was up to something when Merry had suddenly suggested that Ivy and Theo spend the week with their grandparents at Brandy Hall. And then Celandine had kept her away from the cottage all morning.
Estella turned from the room full of flowers--roses, daisies, lilacs-- to face her husband, her heart fluttering with love. "Meriadoc Brandybuck, you are a romantic!"
His cheeks blushed bright pink. She giggled and kissed him.
