You don't bring me flowers

effusive \ih-FYOO-siv\, adjective: Excessively demonstrative; giving or involving extravagant or excessive emotional expression; gushing.

A gentleman appeared in the doorway, yet his head was obscured by an enormous bouquet of peonies. I could only hope it was Mr. Jordan. The man spoke, asking for my sister--no, it was most assuredly not Mr. Jordan. I called out for Sissy, as our caller was none other than the effusive Sir Antwon, one in a line of many men vying for her attention.
