~Valentine~
"Close your eyes." Paul said as soon as he opened the door.
"What? How can I possibly close my eyes when I'm in the middle of cooking dinner?"
"It'll just take a second. Come on, humor me!"
Holly couldn't help but smile. Her husband was always so unpredictable. "All right. They're closed."
"Are you sure?"
Holly laughed. "If I close them any tighter, they may not ever open again!"
"All right, keep them closed."
"They're closed!"
"Just one more second. Okay, you can open them now!"
Slowly she opened her eyes and gasped. Paul stood in front of her holding the most beautiful bouquet of roses she'd ever seen. And in his other hand, a heart
shaped box of candy.
"Paul, this is…"
"Happy Valentine's Day!"
Her hand flew to her mouth. "Oh no! Is today really Valentine's Day? Paul, I completely forgot! I'm so sorry! I don't have anything for you!"
"That's all right. I don't need anything. Because you're my Valentine."
Her heart melted and she pulled him closer for a kiss. "And you're mine, Paul Varjak. Always."
