Last year on Valentine's Day, a boyfriend picked his girlfriend up and took her to a hole in the wall Italian place. For some reason, the electricity was out, but because they cooked using gas, they were still opened. There were only 10 tables in the whole place and every table/chair was mismatched. Candles were everywhere, creating an unexpected romantic glow in this tiny little restaurant. To the girlfriend's surprise, her boyfriend had brought a wonderful bottle of wine and chocolate dipped strawberries.
The evening was perfect. He opened all the doors, said all the right things, took her to his favorite place... she was falling in love. She shared with her boyfriend that this was the best Valentine's Day she had ever had. And it really was. No one had ever put so much effort into one night just to make her feel special. The thing that made him different was that he didn't just put effort into one day, it was everyday. He just added special touches on Valentine's day.
As they shared a wonderful meal, the girl realized this was the last valentine she would ever have. This would be her valentine for the rest of her life.
A year later, that same girl's doorbell rings. She opens the door to find a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Smiling, she takes the flowers to her kitchen and admires them before sending a thank you text to her fiance. Later that evening, when her fiance returns home from work, he tells her that the flowers are only part of the gift. He shows her an e-receipt for 2 tickets for a concert she's been dying to go see.
They get ready and head to their favorite Chinese restaurant for a delicious Valentine's day meal. You see, fortune cookies played an ominous role in the beginning of their relationship. They both reminisced about last year's Valentine's day, with no electricity. While that Valentine's will always have a special place in her heart, this one is pretty darn close.
