A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

Dear Ruth, the damson trees came into full fruit three days early, and Father has stopped pretending he is not frightened of the wasps. I have been sorting the seed packets you left on the potting bench, the ones with the coral poppies drawn on the front, and I cannot make the pictures agree with the labels. Your hand wrote Sweet Williams on one and Cosmos on another, and the flowers painted there look like they were cut from the same bunch and pressed into a heart.

Mrs Okafor from the cottage at the lane end came up yesterday asking for the tall pink ones she saw in your window in June. I told her you had taken the best of the bulbs to the station with you and that the rest were spoiled by the frost. That was not wholly a lie. The frost did get into the bottom row. But I went out this morning with the trowel and dug where you used to kneel, and under the old rhubarb leaves there were little pale shoots pushing up in a rough circle, as if somebody had planted them in the shape of something and then walked away before they could decide what it was.

I am not going to write to you about the will or the lawyers. I am writing to say the blue ones have come up first, and I thought you would want to know before anyone else in this village did. Bring the good secateurs when you come back at Michaelmas. Father says he will not cut anything until you are here to see it.

Your sister, Margery
