Be careful not to do it too often or she will start to think you are up to something. "<br/><br/>He rubs his chin. "Hummm. Let me think. Yea, Flowers are a great start. Then small gifts  and flowers from a secret admirer. "He grins." Ahh yes, poetry. Your Dad loved to send poetry. He even wrote some of his own. I kept some of them. They were really good. Hopefully she will not right away remember he wrote them. That will be when we will plan a special romantic dinner for them. Hopefully we will be able to set it up so it will be a complete surprise.<br/><br/>Charles grins. He loves this. It sounds like so much fun.<br/><br/>"Hummm. You think. You maybe right. We are friends but we don't socialize that much after work. I will trust your 6th sense on this one. " He grins and chuckles.<br/><br/>He hears some noise of someone walking around. "We better get moving. We don't want to arise any suspicion. Operation Marriage trap is officially in operation. We will talk some more later."<br/><br/>He stands up and gives you a warm hug then takes his mug and throws out the coffee and starts to clean the mug waiting till you leave before he does.
