A story inspired by this tattoo · fiction

The wire had been bent wrong for three seasons before Ada admitted it was not a mistake. She had trained the honeysuckle up the greenhouse post the way her father did, one clockwise turn and then back, and each spring the stem came round and touched its own start as if it had been asked to. Nobody in the nursery trade calls that a loop. They call it a fault, and they cut it out.

Ada did not cut it. She took a bud from the peony that grew at the lower bend, a fat red one that had never once opened in the shade, and bound it with raffia to the place where the two ends met. Her brother Tom came in from the yard with the spade still on his shoulder and asked what she thought she was doing. 'Joining it up,' she said. 'Where does it start, then?' 'Nowhere. That's the point.'

The peony took in October. By March the bud had split into a flower the colour of wet brick, and a butterfly, pale and torn at one wing, had settled on the raffia and would not leave. Tom swore it had come in through the vent from the buddleia by the gate. Ada said it had been there all winter, waiting for the loop to close so it could go round again.

They sold the greenhouse in the autumn. The new owners pulled the honeysuckle down for kindling, every foot of it, except the bit with the peony, which they tied to a hook by the door and left there, because nobody could find the place to cut.
