July 13, Emma woke up to an empty bed in their still new feeling home. On the pillow beside her, indented where Prince had been sleeping, was an envelope addressed: My true love

She opened the envelope to find purple confetti, and a heart shaped note. The note read,

One year ago today, my life became complete when I saw U in a hotel lobby and from an elevator.

We don't have an elevator here, but perhaps U could come downstairs by other means.

I'd love to see U.

1,000 X's and O's,

Your true love

Emma got up, brushed her hair, which, as usual, had been destroyed during the previous night's lovemaking, put on a beautiful lace negligee she was given during their recent trip to Europe, and made her way to the top of the staircase. There she found another envelope, this time addressed to Heart of my Heart. Opening it carefully in case it contained more confetti, she found rose petals and lavender instead. This heart shaped note read,

As U descend the stairs, keep Ur eyes peeled for things U haven't seen before.

1,000 X's and O's,

Your true love

Inhaling the delicious scent of roses and lavender, she walked down the stairs. At the foot of the stairs, Emma found purple balloons tied to the banister, and an envelope attached addressed to Soul of my Soul. She opened it to read, again on a heart shaped note,

Ur love is my food, but U might need some coffee right now.

Come to the kitchen and feast with me.

1,000 X's and O's,

Your true love

Oh dear, is he thinking about loving me on the kitchen counters again? I guess I'll find out!

On entering the kitchen, she found a carafe of coffee, half
and half, sweetener, and her huge purple coffee mug. Propped against the mug was another envelope, this time addressed to Love of my life. It read,

Please join me outside on this beautiful day.

Ur presence will make it more beautiful by far.

1,000 X's and O's,

Your true love

She went out the French doors to the back patio, and sitting on the outdoor loveseat, a covered basket of croissants and a bowl of strawberries on the table in front of him, was her husband.

The heart of her heart.

The soul of her soul.

Her true love.

She walked over to him, sat down, and pulled him in for a long kiss.

When he pulled away, he smiled and said, 'Good morning wife, love of my life. Happy Anniversary!'
