walked over to the dining room door.
Pushing open the door, she could not believe the sight that met her eyes. There was a small crystal chandelier where the old light fitting had been and it was giving out a softly suffused glow. Red candles balanced on silver candle holders in the center of the table sending flickering shadows against the far walls.
The best china and the silver cutlery had been set out in a formal dining style; set for two. A huge bunch of velvety red roses nearly covered the sideboard.
The thing that captured her attention sat prominently on the table. A wide white box with a red ribbon tied in a large soft bow. She took a few steps towards it. Looking at it, she was almost unable to move. In simple letters embossed into the lid she could see the words "Victoria's Secret".
A sound came from the other doorway, the one leading to the kitchen. She did not look around, still transfixed by the box.
"Go on, open it," his voice whispered close to her ear. Her heart nearly jumped out of her throat; her knees were weakening.
She turned to look at him. The soft light glinted in the corner of his eyes and played across the gentle smile on his lips.
"Well, go on." He continued to urge her.
With a little giggle she tugged at the ribbon. The bow slipped apart easily. She lifted the lid, and gasped. Reaching into the mass of crumpled tissue paper, she pulled out a fitted and boned corset in red silk covered with black lace.
She crushed it to her chest and squealed as she turned to face him; pure delight glowed in her face.
"Happy Valentine's Day, luv," was all he could say before being smothered in her kisses.
