Flowers for no reason at all
A romantic dinner for two, prepared by your man

Holding hands after a dozen or two years of marriage
And then there are the gestures guaranteed to put you in the mood.
Laundry put away
Dishes washed
Toilet cleaned
Am I right? You know I am!
The romantic gesture in a movie is the scene that makes us sigh.
Robert Redford washing Meryl Streep’s hair in Out of Africa Molly Ringwald giving Judd Nelson her diamond earring in The Breakfast Club Richard Gere climbing the fire escape in Pretty Woman Humphry Bogart letting Ingrid Bergman go in Casablanca
And my personal favorite
Tramp giving Lady the last meatball in Lady and the Tramp
My first book in the Class of ’85 series, Lonely Road to You, debuted one year ago in August. In honor of this momentous anniversary, I’m giving away a PDF copy to one lucky commenter. And happily for me, the story fits my theme. Lonely Road to You is the story of Tyler North, ex rock star, and proper and reserved Kate Abbott, children’s book author and illustrator. The two meet on the way to Summerville, NY on an adventure filled road trip to their high school reunion. At the end of their journey, Tyler makes a grand romantic gesture. He sings a song he wrote for Kate. Now I’m no song writer, (as my 14 year old daughter was the first to point out!) but my editor said it brought tears to her eyes. Since she published the book and left the scene alone, I can only assume they were the good kind! You can't ask more than that from a romantic gesture.
What is your favorite romantic gesture? Please share!
