This is the first Valentine's day after Maggie and Alex got married.
"Alex?" Maggie asks when she steps into the house. The lights are on but her wife is nowhere to be found.
And just before Maggie is going to call Alex, a box on the coffee table with a perfectly-tied ribbon catches her eyes.
Maggie moves to sit down on the couch before opening the box. Her eyes widens when she sees the item inside.
There's a gorgeous navy blue lace dress, which reminds Maggie of the red one she got Alex a few years ago, and a card with Alex's cursive writing. It reads "Wear this and come find me at where you first asked me for a dance. Take your time. - A"
Maggie feels butterflies in her stomach, Alex always has her ways to make her feel like this.
She picks up the dress carefully and head into her shared bedroom with Alex to get ready. She can't wait to see her wife.
On her way to Alex, Maggie's mind drift to the first Valentine's day she had with Alex.
The lying, the arguing, the revealing, the running, the healing.
There's heartbreak and there's tears.
Standing at the door of the ballroom, Maggie takes a deep breath before going in.
Maggie's breath hitches and her heart beats so fast.
There's Alex, wearing that same red gown, being as breathtaking as she always is to Maggie.
"Hey Mags" Alex greets her wife softly, smiling so beautifully.
"Alex...Wow" this is all Maggie can manage to get out when she stands in front of Alex.
"Thanks babe. You look gorgeous too" Alex chuckles, pulling Maggie in for a light kiss.
Alex holds Maggie close to her after the kiss and clears her throat.
"Maggie, this is where we had our first Valentine's day. That year is a big one for both of us. We have been through so much together and look where we are today. I just wanna tell you that I love you so so much" Alex confesses, tearing up a bit.
"Oh Alex, you have no idea how much I love you too" Maggie breathes out, also at the verge of crying.
The two lean into each other for another kiss after their confession of love to each other.
"Can I have this dance?" Alex asks when the two break apart, taking a step back and holding out an inviting hand with a little bow.
"Nerd" Maggie comments but taking Alex's hand anyway.
"Well I'm your nerd" Alex says while pulling Maggie in.
"Yes, and I love you"
