(On the other hand, he has endowed the foliage with extended vitality. It'll be well into the next week before the blooms begin to wilt.)
There's giggling and cheering, and then the girls scatter off to find a new target.
They don't bother with Michael, of course. He's already wearing one, a simple circle of common white daisies. Her revenge will have to take another form.]
