Amative

"We've got it all wrong," he said.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Valentine's Day."

"Oh. Of course." She rolled her eyes.

"No, really, listen to me! We should be fighting on Valentine's Day."

"I think we're about to," she said, shaking her head at his insistence. "Why are you so crazy?"

"Am I crazy? Or is everyone else?" He looked at her in earnest. "Couples fight 364 days a year, but then they want this one day to be happy, to be harmonious, to be romantic, to be perfect. That's so backwards! We should all be fighting on this one day, and happy, harmonious, and romantic on the other 364."

She paused. "You know, most guys just want sex."

He paused. "Yeah, well."
