‘Fraid mine hasn’t got the neat twist that the other participants wove into their love story. Sigh and bah humbug. Laughing.
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3
“Love – bah humbug,” I stated looking at the Valentine’s Day card you presented me with.
“Wrong season,” you replied.
“Still a Hallmark holiday full of false sentiment,” I retorted.
“You are the most jaded cynical person I’ve ever met,” you laughed, bundling me up in your arms.
“And you are the most romantic fool I’ve ever slept with,” I answered, snuggling closer.
“Dare I say, ‘I love you’ again,” you asked gently stroking me.
“Let’s sleep on it,” I answered.
“Lust isn’t love, but it’s a damn fine sentiment,” you murmured in my ear. “Any Hallmark cards for luxuria?”
“We’ll go to the card store later, I have other plans with you right now.” Then I whispered so quietly I hoped you didn’t hear, “I love you too. From first sight.”

Thanks — trying to get the twist in, somewhat autobiographical (blushing)

A fun read. Really.
And I can’t figure out how to get symbols from <3 to real hearts either.

When those true words slip out. I hope for her it’s a good thing, but either way she needed to say it. Slips of the tongue don’t happen for no reason usually :)

Exactly. I think her words were heard no matter how softly she whispered. I hope it was a good thing too.

Yes, sometimes you can’t keep that darned heart quiet.
Such words are heard, no matter how softly whispered.
Thanks. Smiling.
