1. The purple cotton candy sky has swallowed the sun.
2. The once slow ticking time, ticks loudly, whispering do not hasty.
3. There is a juggling job to do, and I must do it right.
4. I hurry to turn on the romantic piano melodies from the black speaker.
5. I dash to awaken the fire with a flip of a switch, gazing at the orange and sun kiss flames licking at the earthy stones.
6. I dart to the mahogany-filled dining room and pull out the shiny silver tray laid with antique lace dollies.
7. I hasten to grab the gold tin jar full of the finest caviar resting in the chill cabinet.
8. Adding a package of water crackers and a creme fraiche to complete the tantalizing treat.
9. I pour the chilled, zesty champagne into the elegant crystal flutes.
10. I get mesmerized by the bubbles, but only for a second or two.
11. I rip off the lid to display the sweet and decadent chocolates in the red velvet heart box.
12. I sniff the air that is full of scented sweet anticipation.
13. The rumble of tires echoes sounds of crunches against the gravel driveway.
14. I sprint back to the kitchen to pull out one hot pink rose and place it between my teeth.
15. With butterflies dancing in chest. One last look, I am ready.
16. I flee to the door to see my one true love standing happily at the door.
17. Greeting her with my rose and a warm lick on her hand.
18. Love radiates from my canine eyes to my heartfelt human; you will not be alone this Valentine's Day night.
