"The single, most extraordinary thing I've ever done with my life is fall in love with you"

Something I realized in 2022 while I was trying to find a perfect spot for valentines day. We have already shared the magical words “i love you" so there were obviously some expectations set for valentines. My lover knew that I am taking her out somewhere but I kept it as a surprise

1 week before valentines I began my search starting with Romantic dinner spots - most of them where full or almost uncertain. There were lot of romantic activities for couples - like wine tasting, love karaoke etc - they would be great but I wanted a lot more privacy for talking. Couples spa - unfortunately it was a busy working day and we couldn't take the day off .

Finally, I devised a plan and asked her to come to my house at 7 and i will drive to the spot. She came in a few minutes early and knocked on my door(she has all access like gate entry, key to my apartment but she didn't want to come in unannounced, such decent girl) . I opened the door , saw the damsel in bright red dress, we hugged and kissed , invited her in and asked her to wait a minute for me to get ready. I came out of the changing room wearing my blazer and said “we are not going anywhere; I cooked an authentic Italian dinner for you". She couldn't believe it because i never cooked for her ever. I returned from work early and made her fave dish. I have been trying out a fe things in the past few days beforehand so that it would come out perfectly.

I have put in a lot of effort on that multi course meal that mattered so much for her when she deemed about it and added that going out might not have made her as happy as she was then.

She felt bad that she didn't get me anything , I said “I saw your happiness and excitement" which is the biggest you gave me.
