THE VALENTINE PROPOSAL
The moment I was sure she'd disappeared into our bedroom, I got to work.
I pulled out the bag of rose petals I'd hidden inside one of the kitchen cupboards, along with the scented candles. Carefully, I scattered the petals from the staircase all the way into the living room, making sure they were spread evenly.
"What else do I need?" I muttered to myself.
I picked up the candles and began lighting them one after another, placing them strategically around the room until everything looked as romantic as I'd imagined.
Next, I brought out the bottle of champagne I'd bought specifically for this moment and set it on the coffee table beside two champagne glasses.
