- Have you planned anything special for February 14? - This year, it will be our tenth Valentine's Day together, so I really must pull out all the stops. I booked a romantic little chalet in the mountains, not far from where Lucie and I met. We'll spend the weekend cuddling by the fireplace and going for romantic walks in the snow. - What a lovely plan! She's so lucky! I, on the other hand, don't know what I'll do yet. Audrey wants it to be a surprise, so she hasn't told me anything at all, which worries me and thrills me at the same time! - I can't wait for you to tell me everything on Monday!
