They said it was a "Miracle Romance." They said it was a love that transcended time. They said they were soulmates.
What they didn't say is that it wouldn't be all it was cracked up to be.
At least, that's how Usagi felt when Mamoru called three hours ago and told her how sorry he was but he was swamped with appointments and had to cancel their anniversary dinner. At a five star restaurant. That had been planned for three months because that's how long the waiting list was.
She even had a dress and shoes. She'd decided how she would do her hair three weeks ago (it was no small task, mind you). She had already kindly asked the cats to stay somewhere else tonight.
She'd even bought lingerie that made her blush. And she'd bought it by herself. Not even Mina would have picked that contraption out.
But, noooo. He had appointments. What were people doing getting sick and needing surgeries and amputations and what have you on her anniversary?
The last three hours she'd spent returning everything to the stores. No new glitzy gold shoes, no floor length skirt and tightly sewn bodice. Sure, maybe it was a tad bit spiteful. But Mamoru was always good at making it up to her later. It's the one reason she'd kept the lingerie when everything—from make-up, to hair supplies, to clothing—had been returned. She would make him pay dearly for this one.
And three days later, she did.
