I ❤️ valentines
Who would’ve thought June would call Hardin to make up on Valentine’s? Their breakup was bitter, and they’d flamed each other on Facebook and Twitter during the holidays. But June was sentimental and romantic, and Hardin realized that if she didn’t have a date on Valentine’s she’d sweep her grudges under the rug long enough to get through the night. Then she’d roll up the rug, point to the mess, and send him packing.
But what a night. As if he might have any doubt, she’d told him, “on a night like this, I need someone who can satisfy for hours.”
June was sentimental and romantic, and Hardin realized that if she didn’t have a date on Valentine’s she’d sweep her grudges under the rug long enough to get through the night.
And Hardin arrived prepared to satisfy. A bottle of Alpengold Cherry Brandy, her favorite, prosciutto and oranges, and La Madeline truffles. (Not to mention a three pack of little blue pills in case the liqueur interfered with the blood flow.)
He rang the bell and imagined their reunion while he waited for her to answer the door. She’d be wearing a see-through teddy with hair curling over her shoulders, just a touch of sandalwood perfume. There’d be lipstick stains on his collar in the morning, and other stains on the bed.
The door opened and June stood in her hallway in sweats, cradling a gallon tin of gourmet popcorn. She took him by the hand and led him inside. “I’ve got hot chocolate, and those little yellow cookies. Not to mention the complete Sex in the City on Blu-Ray. We’re going to binge all night.”
If you can’t get enough of impeachment.
