No Thought

My doorbell rings with flowers from David. Every year on Valentine’s Day he sends me red roses. The delivery boy smiles waiting for his tip. I hand him the money and shut the door forcibly causing the room to shake. Another vase to take up room in my cabinet.
Just once I’d like David to say he loves me and take me out to a nice dinner. He does the same thing every year without any other thought.
I throw the roses in the trash, the vase cracking into pieces.
I grab my car keys and take myself to dinner.
