Smoky Nights

Thursday was an anniversary for John and me. I must admit, it was probably the best anniversary. He told me that he had made plans and it was all going to be a surprise for me. We first went out to a late dinner at Bella Ciao. The server sat us, said happy anniversary and brought out wine and an appetizer (John had called ahead and arranged the whole meal). After the delicious appetizer, they delivered a rose to me and then brought out the main course. We left for a short walk and went to La Dolce Vida for brandy and cigars, watching my voice get as smoky as the atmosphere.
