A Stalker Story

FLOWERS
Mary worked as a customer service operator for a computer company and was having a very bad day. The phones were ringing off the hook. And every so often, she would get prank phone calls.

And not knowing what she looked like. But not many women walked out of that workplace, with a smile and a dozen roses. He had sent the flowers to identify her...
