I feel like a kid on his first date! It has been so long since we have spoken that I feel as if we must almost start out all over again. So, in order to renew myself with the love of my life, I order 11 long stem red roses from the florist to be delivered as soon as your hubby leaves on his extended business trip; I have my sources and have learned he will be gone for a week and a half.
Included with the roses is only a cryptic note: 'Wait for the last one!'
You open the door to the ringing of the florist and, as I watch from my car down the street a ways, I see the questioning look on your face as you sign for them with a crooked smile - the one I have always loved! - And step back inside. I was just able to spot that you were wearing the floor length silk robe with the zipper to the waist and the high neckline. Very discrete yet enticing!
As I watch through your kitchen window, I can see you placing the roses into a large crystal vase and then, after counting them twice to make sure you weren't in error, you read the card. As you were shaking your head at the mystery, I slipped out of the car and walked nervously up to your front door; what would be your reaction in seeing me after so long an absence? I rang the doorbell and stood there, shaking slightly.
