Summary
Ryland looked down at his clipboard, where he had written a reasonable script, supplied earlier that day by Adrian. Unfortunately, the moment his eyes landed on the words, his brain supplied only terrible ways to say them.
He chose the worst one.
“I need flowers with prominent reproductive structures.”
The man went completely still.
Ryland could feel his soul attempting to leave his body.
“For a plant anatomy lab,” he added quickly. “For my students. Middle school students. Not–” He cut himself off, because there was simply no end to that sentence that would improve his situation. Instead, he just weakly smiled, and added “Science.”
-:-:-
Ryland Grace is brilliant with biology, awkward with adults, and far too invested in giving his students the lessons they deserve. Simon Fleischer is a guarded florist who trusts plants more than people and has no interest in being needed by anyone again. But when a forgotten school lab brings Ryland into Root & Thorn, their lives begin to tangle in quiet, unexpected ways – through flowers, roots, and the terrifying possibility of being cared for properly.

Summary
The engineer takes my hand. His skin runs hot. Very hot. He doesn't let go at what I would gauge as a socially-acceptable handshake time interval. Are we just holding hands in the middle of the lab-workshop space? Guess we are.
"I'm Rocky," he finally introduces himself. He has a hint of an accent, something lilting, melodic. I can't really place it.
"Rocky," I repeat, slowly. "Like the movies?"
"No," Rocky deadpans, giving me a look like I'm stupid. "Like the rocks."

Summary
You have to sign a waiver to ride the mechanical bull at Willie's. At face value this is so the establishment doesn't risk getting sued for any too-drunk idiots breaking an arm or leg or collarbone from getting thrown, but in reality it is so you can spend a minimum of five minutes filling out tedious paperwork and really, really thinking on what you're about to do. Ryland becomes less and less sure that the possibility of a double double with fries and- according to Marissa- a "gay little" strawberry shake is worth it with every box of personal information he completes, but while he is historically a quitter and a weenie and extremely happy to not do something if he really doesn't want to, he also knows that if he walks back to his best friend now she will never let him live this down.
Boy meets bull. Boy takes bet. Boy learns that college really is all about discovery.
