Victor stood at Summer\u2019s front door, fidgeting. He had a bouquet of red and white roses in one hand. He raised his left hand and knocked on her door then returned his hand to his pocket where he double checked and reassured himself he\u2019d remembered the tickets. It was 4pm, he was surprising her and showing up an hour and a half earlier before they had to leave for that reason.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To be honest, Summer had been ignoring Valentine\u2019s Day for so long she\u2019d forgotten what day it was. So when someone knocked on the door, she was still in her sleep clothes, curled up on the couch with a cat and a book. \u201cComing,\u201d she hollered, startling Lil Doc, and padded over to the door, opening it and peering out curiously. \u201cHey, Victor.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHey Summer,\u201d he said, giving her an almost shy smile, \u201cum, surprise, Happy Valentine\u2019s Day.\u201d Victor handed her the bouquet of roses then rocked back on his heels. \u201cI was hoping you wouldn\u2019t mind catching a show with me then headed back to my place for a late dinner?\u201d He was most definitely out of his element here, he\u2019d never taken anyone out for Valentine\u2019s Day and he was hoping the night he had planned would be satisfactory.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her mouth dropped open at the roses. “Oh, Victor! Oh, wow.” She buried her nose in the flowers, eyes closed in bliss. One hand flailed at his arm, grabbing him and pulling him inside. “Cold,” she explained. “Thank you. Wow.” She laid the flowers aside carefully and threw her arms around him. “Thank you so much.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
