We don't celebrate holidays, and honestly, we don't need to because everyday feels joyous when we're together. Truth is, whenever the kids are away, he always makes these nights alone more special than the last. Today was no different; I truly married my best friend. I stepped out of the shower to a warmed-plush red towel, robe and slippers. A massage table sitting right in the middle of the living room next to a bottle of massage oil, cups. Lights were red and dimly lit, Stevie Wonder was playing in the background and my husband had a twinkle in his eye brighter than the North Star. This man pays attention. I saw him looking at me this morning while getting dressed, I thought he wanted a show. Turns out he saw how much I kept rubbing my shoulders and lower back.
My Cherie Amour is a walk into an adults only candy shop that specializes in one of a kind cocktails and decadent sweets; moody, smoky and complimentary bowls of house made whipped vanilla cream, salted caramel, and ripe berries with a dusting of pink sugar.
The tension has left your body. Slide into a booth and pick a vice, that's the first thing you see when you open the menu. The perfect ending to Monday night. Work will miss you tomorrow for sure.
