Jaime paused in the doorway to her classroom when she spied a dozen white and red roses sitting in a vase on her desk. She was more than a little surprised to see them. At the time she was not dating anyone and had not expected to get anything, except from her students. She walked over to her desk and put her bag down. She found the attached card and opened it, but all it said was “All my love! Happy Valentine’s Day!” She held the small card to her chest and smiled. It never ceased to amaze her that he never forgot to send flowers on important occasions! “Happy Valentine’s Day to you!” she whispered, wishing that he could hear across the miles.

I'll leave it to the reader to decide who the flowers are from

Hmm! The clues: (1) Red and white and not yellow! (2) At The airbase school.and (3) "...Not dating anyone..." (Thankfully that removes Not!Steve 3.4! and It can't be the kids--I am sure they don't have that type of money.)
Suspects:
Steve (he knew yellow roses were her favorite although he might have wanted to be mysterious)
Oscar
Rudy
Michael Marchetti (gag!)
The Airbase Lieutenant Col. Hollaway (that had the hots for her and wanted to play tennis)
The Forest Ranger from Bionic Dog
The tennis hanger-on from TBW.

And lastly I'll throw out Daddy-O, Jim Elgin, as homage to my brother. I just learned he sends his daughter, daughter-in-law, and granddaughters roses every year for Valentine's day.

Jaime spent her day containing her students' energy until the last hour. Throughout the day her eyes kept drifting back to the flowers and she would inhale deeply whenever she was near her desk. She had the students pull out their Valentine's and share them with each other, while she passed out the cupcakes she and Helen had made the night before. She collected a nice collection of cards and chocolate samplers herself. Bidding the last student good-bye she sat down at her desk to get organized for the next day. Jaime found her eyes drawn again to the roses. This is the first time I've gotten red and white. Wonder what he was thinking?
She shook her head and got busy with her work. An hour later, she closed her gradebook and picked up the vase of flowers to go home.

I like the tease. Maybe it's a fill in the blank story.

Prime Suspects:

Steve, Oscar or Chris.

Few writers like Chris, so he's out. Down30's photo has Steve so it's probably him. We've not had an Oscar story for awhile, so maybe it's time.

Jaime stopped at the store on the way home and got the ingredients for spaghetti. When she walked in the door of her house, she heard the phone ringing. Hurrying up the steps even with a bag of groceries, her purse, satchel, and mail in her hands she made it to the phone.

"Hello!"

"Hello! Did I catch you at a bad time?"

"Just getting home and had my arms full."

"Did you get your roses?"

"Thank you, I did and they're lovely. I was surprised by your choice in colors."

"Like to keep things interesting. Sorry to cut this short but duty calls. Happy Valentine's Day!"

"Happy Valentine's Day to you too!"

They both hung up, but Jaime stood with her hand on the phone not yet ready to break the connection.

This is truly wonderful! I am crossing Jim Elgin off my suspect list, as he probably wouldn't say 'duty calls'. Could be: Oscar, Steve or possibly Tom Holloway. Maybe even Chris...

Jaime put the water on to boil and began making the sauce from Helen's recipe. Cooking was her favorite way to unwind after a day at school. She had forgotten to call Helen to wish them Happy Valentine's Day but decided she would after dinner. She was just putting her plate together to eat when there was a knock at the door.

She went to open it and found herself face to face with a vase of a dozen yellow roses. "They're beautiful."

"Didn't think I'd forget a dozen of your favorites did you?"

Jaime ushered her guest in and sat him at her table. "Just a second and I'll have you a plate ready."

"No rush, no rush at all!" He put the vase of roses on the end table by her couch and sat down in the empty chair at the table.

"I'm so happy to see you!"

"Same here. I was afraid I wouldn't make it."

Jaime poured them both a glass of wine and sat down across from him.

"I'd like to propose a toast. To a lovely lady who makes a mean plate of spaghetti."

"And to you kind sir. The man who gave me my life back."

They drank to each other's toast and began eating.

"Thank you so much for the roses, but you shouldn't have."

"No one else I'd rather buy them for or spend a quiet evening with."

THE END

I love that you left it open-ended this way. Could be a very happy ending with any number of people, depending on the reader. Well done!

For me... I'm putting Rudy on the other side of that table.

Seems to me that there were two guys - one on the phone sending red & white flowers and one at the door with yellow ones. Mister "duty calls" can only mean Oscar. The one at the door must be Steve. Pretty typical of the characters. Good job!

Its actually entirely up to the reader to decide who it was. However, there was only one guy!
