Valentines

Romantic, that I am, 

I adore Valentine’s Day.

Not so much for the exchange of cards, gifts and supper between those who are already lovers.  Although I can see the romance, the affirmation, the enchantment and the intimacy – I have fallen under its amorous spell often enough

But what really makes February the fourteenth special 

is that it provides almost-strangers 

the perfect excuse and the ideal opportunity 

to flirt outrageously.

And to act dangerously.
