It started on Friday, when a box arrived for me. 12 long-stemmed roses with a romantic card from him. My boss saw the delivery and gave me the smirk. I just grinned like an idiot in response.
He was working Friday night so he drove to my house after his shift. He got there by midnight and handed me a bag. In it, were some very nice chocolates, a sweet card and a heart necklace of art glass on a silk cord. I thanked him appropriately and we fell asleep in one another's arms. Morning was more of the same before he relented and told me what the plans were: late lunch in the North End (Little Italy), a room at the Hyatt overlooking the Boston skyline, romantic dinner at the hotel and a brunch on Sunday. And yes, it was all as heavenly as it sounds.
