Accompany the treat with a short letter of appreciation of all that you love most about your one and only.

Just before your lover finishes for the day, send another message to return her focus towards the evening ahead subtly. Arrange to be home more than thirty minutes earlier to transform your ordinary bedroom into a veritable boudoir and to restore yourself to your freshest version.
