Make-Up

Dear Dean,

I can spend hours in stationery stores like Papyrus that carry heartfelt cards for every occasion.  As much as I hate the holiday, I love making a Papyrus pit stop for Valentine’s cards for my parents, my sister, my aunt, and my best friends.  But in-between reading those cards, I can’t help peeking at the cards for couples.  I think they’re so cute.

I stopped dreaming that I’d find the right person and figured I’d concentrate on myself, which is probably why I’m so busy all the time.  But I’m glad to have you in my routine.  You’ve made me so happy since I met you the night before Valentine’s Day. 

I picked this card up the day after our fight.  I’m too stubborn and self-centered to care to right wrongs, but I promise I will work for us.  You are worth it.

I love you,

Catherine
