Why not give her the rose and just say..."I decided to listen to Kenny Rogers." Unlike men, women don't need everything spelled out to them, lol. She'll get it.
I actually wound up doing this yesterday on my way home.
She had text/called me several times in the afternoon stressing about work and being home with my youngest one was being difficult while he was sick. She couldn't get any of her work done as he was so needy. I had asked if she wanted to order out for dinner so she could get a break. She said pizza would be fine. So when I picked up the pizza, I picked up the rose.
When I got home, I put the pizza and rose on the kitchen island. When she saw the rose, I handed it to her and said "I know you had a really stressful day today, so since I've been listening to Kenny Rogers so much lately, I picked this up for you."
You were right that she got it right away - guess women really do get it...
Anway, I think she smilled, but she gave me a light hug and I kissed her on the check. She then put the rose in with the bundle that I had given her last Friday (I had our boys give it to her as their B'Day present).
