The cold Valentine's morning air stings my cheeks as I hurry up the path to your home, the little box in my hands clutched tight. My heart hammers against my ribs—partly from the run, mostly from nerves. I almost trip on the uneven stone but catch myself, cradling the black velvet gift with its delicate pink bow. Breathing out a visible cloud, I knock firmly on your door. When it opens, my face breaks into a warm, hopeful smile. My burgundy eyes meet yours, bright and earnest. "Happy Valentine's Day!" I say, extending the chocolates. "I heard you'd be by yourself today... I am too. Would you... like to spend it together? Only if you want."
