A Blossoming Idea

(A month after my husband and I started dating, I go out of town for vacation. We speak every night via Skype. The night before my flight home:)

Husband: “Guess what?”

Me: “What?”

Husband: “My baby is getting home in 22 hours and 17 minutes.”

Me: “You are silly. Are you going to meet me at the airport?”

Husband: “Sure thing.”

Me: “Are you going to bring me awesome flowers?”

(He looks at me puzzled by my question since I never asked him about presents before.)

Me: “It is not like NEED the flowers. I just always had a dream of my boyfriend meeting me at the airport with the HUGE bouquet and making all the people around me jealous…”

Husband: *laughing* “You are so silly…”

(He ended up getting a huge bouquet of tropical flowers and was kind enough to count how many people looked at him with envy and how many with pure hate. Now every time I am travelling alone he meets me at the airport with flowers.)
