Blooms Quote by Fredrik Backman

“It's difficult to know when love blooms; suddenly one day you wake up and it's in full flower. It works the same way when it wilts-one day it is just too late. Love has a great deal in common with balcony plants in that way. Sometimes not even baking soda makes a difference.” quote by Fredrik Backman
