Valentine On the Knees. Valentine

Valentine's Day sounds romantic, right? Not when you're broke and barely scraping by. Johan, my guy, works long hours just to keep up with his downtown rent, and let's just say fancy gifts aren't exactly in his budget. But when he saw this perfect white fleece sweater at a thrift store, he lit up like a kid on Christmas. Of course, he had to leave it behind because, well, life. So, I did what anyone would do-I went back, bought it, and planned the best low-key Valentine's surprise ever: a homemade dinner (no candles, that's too cringe), the sweater, and a night just for us.
What happened next? Let's just say his gift for me wasn't exactly tangible. I turned out to be a very selfless, not-so-materialistic guy, after all!If you've ever loved someone so much they were your best gift-or if you're just a sucker for cozy, real-life romance-this story is for you. Grab a blanket and read on.
