The difference is
I already knew this man:
he'd given my mum a parking ticket
and we'd spent the whole way home
laughing
meanly
about him.

but when I saw him buy the flowers
and the card
and the chocolate
and the wine
and the way his cheeks were flushed
(oh so excitedly)
I realised that maybe
just maybe
he wasn't so mean
after all.
