So flower, so good΅

And so I am pleased to report that my man came up trumps and I did indeed get flowers for Valentine΅―s Day. But just in case you΅―re about to accuse me of joining the ranks of the smugly loved up, let me share the story of the last time I got a bouquet on the big day.΅.
It was several years ago ¨C yes, I have a lengthy history of dating unromantic blokes ¨C and it was the classic dozen, long stemmed, red roses. The only drawback was that he had in fact dumped me the day before. Confused? Yes, so was I. What did it mean? Was it an apology? Had he changed his mind? Did he want us to get back together? The answer, it transpired, was a definite no.
Having waited all day for the phone call that never came, I finally plucked up the courage to ring him. He was embarrassed but unapologetic as he explained the only reason I got the flowers was because he΅―d ordered them earlier in the week and had forgotten to cancel them. I was gutted, and before you could say Interflora about a hundred quids worth of roses hit the bin, petal by velvety petal.
Now I am not wishing to pour cold water on the language of love, but I think the moral of the story is΅..if you are saying it with flowers just make sure you΅―re having the same conversation.
