Box of Chocolates

Dear Readers,

We really wanted to do something nice for you this Valentine’s Day. You’ve been working so hard and still make the time to read us, share us, and make us feel special. And even when the current political climate makes you feel something like this:

You still manage to make the most of it. Fighting the power, resisting, and keeping your frustration close to your heart. You know, kind of like this:

And so this week’s prompt, we’re giving you something sweet and tasty. But, as always, we’re putting our own spin on it. And so, we hope you indulge in the sweet satisfaction of this week’s pieces, using Box of Chocolates as our writing prompt.

And maybe this is too much too soon, but we can’t help ourselves.

WE LOVE YOU.
