Forgot to tell you one good part. She mentioned the flowers at work, and how all of her co-workers were talking about them. I said "Good -- that's why I sent them. I didn't send them to be mushy, you know."
She said "What do you mean?"
I looked her in the eyes and said "I wanted everyone there -- and you -- to get the message that you're a married woman, and you're married to someone who WILL FIGHT FOR YOU."
She didn't really have much to say to that, but I think she liked it.
