one randomly and call them and give them a dozen
(03:25):
long stem roses. So your name came up today from
various stores.

I guess you must have.
Speaker 5 (03:33):
Yes, actually we are. There're a dozen long stem roses.
They're gorgeous and they come in a beautiful Baccarat crystal vase.
Very expensive. The vase is worth so much.
