My friend recently arranged a surprise for our 1st date. The big night was the night before he had to move away. As he drove to our destination he began telling me how he chose it. He recalled me mentioning my love of reading. He said that he could tell by the sound of my voice and the way my eyes lit up when I spoke, that I really took great pleasure in it. He relayed his desire to pick a place for the evening that would allow us an opportunity to talk and spend quality time together as well as a place that would remind me of him while he was away. We pulled into the parking lot of a local coffee shop book store where he proceeds to buy me two wonderful hardback books to occupy my time while he is away. We chatted the night away over coffee and then he sent me off in search of my gifts… Needless to say, the night did not backfire! I thought it was a truly memorable, original, romantic, and caring gesture straight from his heart! I’ll never forget it or him…
