She Gave Him Roses But Left Me Thorns

Ivan has a severe pollen allergy, and his girlfriend Lindsay Payne is a renowned luxury floral designer. Every month for three years, she brought home bundles of bare greenery, which he kept in glass vases, believing she had chosen them to keep him safe.

When Lindsay's studio designs the wedding of the century, Ivan sees the hall filled with ten thousand roses for her childhood friend Alec Scott. Alec posts about his bouquet, noting Lindsay removed every thorn herself. Ivan realises the stems she gave him were the scraps left after the thorns were clipped for Alec. He destroys them, and when Lindsay comes home with chestnut cake, he tells her he does not even like it.

Days later, Alec moves into their apartment, and Lindsay calls him her muse. When Alec fills the table with pollen-bearing flowers, Ivan's home and place in Lindsay's heart are thrown into question.
