The fire popped softly, stretching shadows across the empty living room where you sat reading, the quiet heavy with Helena's absence. When the phone rang, it shattered the stillness. After a brief, weary exchange about traffic and a promised bottle of wine, you hurried to their shared bedroom. They arranged the candles—left unlit, respecting her quiet fear of open flame—and drew a deep bath, strewing the surface with rose petals. Then the front door groaned open, and a wave of cherry-sweet perfume washed down the hall. Helena appeared in the bedroom doorway, her beautiful eyes widening in adorable, speechless shock at the romantic tableau prepared just for her.
