A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The peonies had come up three weeks late, and Edith Lowe walked the length of the border each morning to count the buds the way other women counted beads. Seven on the north bed, eleven on the south, and one stubborn cluster against the back wall that she had given up on in April and now could not stop watching.

Her nephew Dev came up the gravel path on the Thursday with a cardboard box and the careful face of a man delivering bad news. Inside, wrapped in wet newspaper, lay a black cherry branch no longer than her forearm, its blossom just breaking pink at the tips. "Mum said you'd want it," he said. "The old tree came down in the gale. Half the lane's still in pieces."

She knew the branch before she unwrapped it. Alan had taken the cutting from the Hartley orchard in 1979 and grafted it onto rootstock in the potting shed, labelling every pot in his square capitals, KEEP, DOUBTFUL, DO NOT TOUCH. The tree had outlived him by six years. Now it was lying in a heap at the bottom of Mill Lane.

She did not argue with Dev. She sent him for the trowel and the bag of grit, and together they set the branch into a sloped bed under the wall, angling its long arms over the cluster of peonies so the pink would sit beside the pink. By evening the buds on the cherry had opened on one side, and the peony cluster, which had not moved in a month, had loosened its outer petals as if somebody had finally said its name.

In the morning there were eight blooms on the wall, and a ribbon of petals lying on the path that Edith swept up without complaint. She left the rest where they fell.
