My first official date with my, now, husband ended with me going to the ER. What can I say, I really know how to turn the fellas on…at least I was memorable.
Honestly, my husband and I already had a bit of history before our first date. We were friends, so when I started to have breathing problems and needed medical attention, it was really more of a friend looking out for another, but for me, it was the sweetest thing. When I woke up groggy the next day, all neatly tucked into my bead, I was confused. Then I walked out into the hall and saw my date passed out on the couch. He had stayed the whole night to make sure I was ok. My husband has never disappointed me in the romance department and luckily for him, I’m not high maintenance. Tulips when he can get’em, chocolate anytime, comic books, action figures, a visit to the zoo, ice cream, and a fresh new pair of fuzzy socks; he knows how to romance me any day.
As for him, he also likes comic books and actions figures, as well as a home cooked meal, a cool watch, graphic tees, hot dogs, me in something pretty that’s not denim, and all the sports he can watch. After almost nine years of marriage we haven’t lost our sense of romance, it’s just taken on some different forms…
And now, here’s a snippet of budding romance from my debut novel, Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel, from chapter seven.
“Giovanni wondered why he was so affected by Mira’s touch, but it was more than just that. As they walked along together, among the trees and gardens preparing for their winter rest, Giovanni could smell a sweet fragrance emitting from Mira that kept him dizzy and off focus. Giovanni had never before enjoyed and adored the aroma of another person, but he simply couldn’t ignore the scent of Mira. As the day grew colder, Giovanni and Mira headed back toward the house and Giovanni remained puzzled by new sensations and emotions.”

That story about your first date is adorable. Good job choosing a man that takes care of you. That’s important. Good luck with your book release, too.
Thanks for stopping by. Yeah, I’d say I picked a pretty good one.
What a sweet loving story, mine… was a bit more on the wilder side of things and in his sense of adventure my Tom has never disappointed me!
In the end, if you can say you had an adventure, you’re doing pretty good. Finding someone special makes it all worth it.
That is very true !
I love both of your stories (real and unreal), but I think the date on the couch is the topper. Thanks for visiting my blog.

Thanks. Before it happened, I would not have been able to make something like that up.
Congratulations, you are the winner of my prize, a box of Ferrero Rocher®! If you’ll visit my contact page and send me your address, I’ll mail your prize out as soon as I can.
Toi, keep the chocolates and Happy Valentine’s Day. I can’t eat them (vegan) and it would be expensive to ship (in U.S.) Thanks though!
