Better than Fiction

http://crh.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fayl:Orchid_flower.jpg
Love this story about F. Scott Fitzgerald from Vanity Fair::

In the bar at The Ritz, Fitzgerald sends a young woman a box of orchids. She sends it back. He opens the box and glumly eats one orchid ('petal by petal"). She changes her mind.

How I wish I had made that up.

OK, back to the story I am making up.
