If it's true that you sent her red roses, then I'm afraid that yes, you do.
These fourteen and fifteen year old girls are inclined to interpret almost anything as a romantic gesture. I almost hesitate to give out high marks to deserving work, knowing how the eyelashes will flutter in response. I once made the mistake of describing a fifth year's work as "showing excellent promise." Later, she dropped my office in her best robes and wanted to know if we could "discuss her promise."
By comparison, red roses would surely be accepted as something on par with a proposal of marriage.
