Description
February fourteenth, a café on the Rue Cler. Paul has rehearsed his speech for weeks, but when the moment finally comes he forgets every word and simply slides a small heart across the table. On its lid a cherub draws back his bow, arrow aimed straight at the girl sitting opposite. She laughs, and then she cries, and the waiter, who has seen this before, quietly brings two glasses of champagne.
This heart-shaped box carries the oldest message of all. The little cherub, plump and resolute, holds bow and arrow at the ready, a sweet emissary of romance. Inside there is room for an engagement ring, a pair of earrings or a love note folded tight. Long after the question is answered, it can rest on a dressing table as a souvenir of that evening. It is a tender gift for Valentine’s Day, an anniversary, or a sweetheart who saves every card you’ve ever written.
