The Thrill Is Gone

About two weeks before our fifth anniversary, my husband asked me what I would like for a gift. I told him I wanted something impractical and romantic. On our anniversary night, he presented me with a lovely gold bracelet.

"A little four-letter word made me get this for you," he said softly. "Oh, how sweet," I whispered. "L-O-V-E?"

"No," he replied. "S-A-L-E."
