burning like matchsticks in the face of the darkness

RA just called, and I was actually half-expecting her to be calling about Prof.B. 'cause it was hours ago that 1-800-FLOWERS.COM e-mailed me "Your order, detailed below, has been arranged by by one of our select florists and is on it's way." But as soon as I answered the phone, she said, in a near-teary voice, something along the lines of, "You are the best person ever."

Since we were still busy last week I was okay with the fact that I'd ordered it for the "wrong" Monday (and in retrospect this seemed like a better Monday in fact since my orginal intent had been in part a celebration of this piece of work being over) and she called this morning to warn me that she was gonna be really stressed out this week, not work-related, 'cause she's prepping for the LSATs. So when we talked just now she said something like, "You have no idea how much I needed this today." Prof.B. is leaving early to go to his son's baseball game, so she wants to take me out for frozen yogurt after. She said she really wanted to come up and give me a big hug but she didn't want him to see her 'cause she's supposed to be working on some project for him, so I'll call her after he leaves if she hasn't finished it before then :)

Many thanks to quasisonic, from whom I got this idea.

Edit: Frozen yogurt is at the Grille, which is closed until June 2. Oh well.

The flowers are purple and red, which pleases me as they had looked very pink in the online picture.
