“Great…. Flight’s delayed…. AGAIN. I KNEW this would happen. I guess it’s another Valentines’ Day on my own then. He has to be the worst boyfriend EVER!! I mean that’s three years on the trot. THREE!! Is it too much to ask to come first? JUST ONCE?

“At least I have you, huh, Mr Paws. You won’t leave me on my lonesome will you? No… no you won’t…. coz you’re a nice little kitty-cat.… yes… yes you are….

“Well, I guess it would be a shame to let the champagne go to waste…. How about we snuggle up on the sofa with a glass of bubbly and that box of lame-ass love hearts Jack sent me? I promise… no soppy movie AND I’ll rub your belly ‘til you purr.

"You know, I used to love eating these when I was little. They were my favourite sweets… these and Parma Violets. We used to pick out all the nice saying and give them to the boys we liked…”

“HELLO”

“We hello to you Mr Love Heart. How are you this fine ‘I love you day’? Me? Oh, you know, I’m fine. Just consoling myself with refined sugars…”

“LUSH LIPS”

“Why… Mr Love Heart… That’s very forward of you. I have a boyfriend don’t you know… But thank you for noticing. It’s a new shade of lippy… Candy Kiss… Do you like it? I bought it especially for this evening. Seems like such a waste.”

“YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL”

“Stop it Mr Love Heart… You’ll make me blush… I’m not that type of girl… I’m not used to this kind of talk…”

“ITS LOVE "

"SWEETHEART”

“Oh... Mr Love Heart… this, this is all so sudden… I don’t know what to say… We can’t… we come from two different worlds… it would never work.”

“TRUE LOVE "

“But… Maybe…. Just one more bite… It can’t hurt… can it? You are incredibly hard to resist… And I won’t tell Jack if you don’t…”

“LOVE BUG”

“Hmmm…. That’s what Jack used to call me… when we first started going out. Can’t believe it’s been five years already.”

“I LOVE YOU”

“Oh… That’s so sweet of you Mr Love Heart.”

“AIMEE”

“Huh… wait a minute…. Oh that’s so sweet… he's personalised them… maybe he’s not the worse boyfriend after all.”

“ONLY YOU

FOREVER”

“Oh… hmm… so cute.”

“OPEN THE DOOR”

“Huh… wait… what the... ”

“SERIOUSLY"

"OPEN THE DOOR

"HURRY UP”

“Ok…. Slightly pushy…. Jack? JACK? Oh my god… you’re here. You’re actually here?...”

“Read the next one?”

“What…? oh ok.”

“JUST"

"SAY YES”

“Just say yes? Nooo… Are you?

“And the next one.”

“MARRY ME?”

“Marry me? Marry you?

“Yes… Amiee... Will you marry me?"

“Jack… I mean… Yes… Here… I mean"

YES.”
