Happenstance

Three weeks ago (on a Wednesday) I got off work at 3:30 and headed over to Barnes and Noble to buy Anthony Getting Your Book Published for Dummies.  He texted me at 3:41 asking if I was still at work.  I replied that I had left work but was still in town and asked him what was up.  As I was crossing the overpass and went through the light I got the text "Come to Barnes and Noble, I have a surprise for you :)".  I pulled up behind his car about a minute later.  I told him that I was already on my way over there to buy him something.  He then told me to close my eyes and open my hands, when I opened them I had in my hands The Lands of Ice and Fire, aka all the maps from Game of Thrones.  Best gift ever. 

I just thought it was amazing how I was already on my way over there to buy him a gift and he had gotten me one.  There have been several instances of things like this occurring between us.  I love it.

Also, when I gave him the book the next day I had written in it

"Dearest Anthony, 

Go get yourself published!  Your work is really good and others need to know that.  Plus, I want to buy 10 copies of your book as soon as it hits the shelves.  You're an amazing writer, don't ever forget that.

Yours,

Candace"

and after he read it he thanked me, pulled me close, and kissed me.

(I'm pretty sure I could write a novel about all the amazing moments involving him.  The past 5 months of getting to know him have been grand.)
