Yeah--tough annaversary in Limboland. Still...not bad.
I rewrote the letter--toned down the intensity level but it was still a love letter for sure! Put in tickets to an outdoor music festival he'd mentioned wanted to go to (one of his complaints before was that we didn't go out to play enough.
I stopped at his work on the way home. I didn't want to go inside and risk ruining it for myself by running into XOW, or ruining it for H (kindof takes the romance out of the moment when W punches XOW's face). I called him and asked him to meet me outside for a minute & gave him the card w/letter. He got all mushy-faced & slightly teary. Said, he hadn't "gotten to do any shopping", but I could tell he wasn't being truthful.
Hugs & kisses then I left. On the way home I was wondering if he'd forgotten or just felt akward and didn't know what to do.
When I got home, I found a vase full of roses on the table and a card that said he hoped we'd never spend another annaversary apart.
No, not a wedding ring but better than a baby step!
