Another fave post–revised for Valentine’s Day which isn’t too far off…
.
.Dancing, cheek-to-dimpled cheek…
.
It’s not a special occasion, since Valentine’s Day is every day for them…but they’re all dressed up, celebrating full energetic lives, in the penthouse again…isolated together, in a high rise getaway in New York City and it’s super fancy: bar, hot tub, pool table, art everywhere (but not a single Pollock in sight), big beautiful bed, floor to ceiling glass walls with an insane view….Chopsticks and Chinese takeaway cartons are slightly hidden by the vase of calla lilies and orchids on the red oak dining table…The last time they were here a Rachmaninoff piano concerto was playing and they were trying to figure out which one it was…This time it’s a velvety Billie Holiday tune…and they know every word…

“I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It’s just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love…”:

He broke their “no expensive gifts” rule because he saw a diamond choker he just had to place around her long lovely neck:

.
.
“Choker?…Don’t mind if I do!”:
.
.
GARETH!…NO!…That is not what I meant and you know it!!
.
LOL! Love somebody.
.
.“The very thought of you
And I forget to do
Those little ordinary things
That everyone ought to do
.
I’m livin’ in a kind of a daydream
I’m happy as a queen
And foolish though it may seem
To me, that’s everything
.
The mere idea of you
The longing here for you
You’ll never know
How slow the moments go
Till I’m near to you
.
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It’s just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love
.
I see your face in every flower
Your eyes in stars above
It’s just the thought of you
The very thought of you, my love.”

“…’Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us
‘Cause your love is my love
And my love is your love
It would take an eternity to break us
And the chains of Amistad couldn’t hold us…”:

Marty: “I love you.”

Ash: “And I love YOU…When you’re away from me it’s unbearable, I suffer…I try not to fall apart…The air feels hot, sodden, and I can’t breathe…You’re everything to me…My peace…My joy…My light…My universe…My–wait….Are you looking at me or Sammy?
.
Marty: “Huh?”
.
(Sammy, who is out of view, has just finished relieving himself on the rocks behind Ash. He’s a good boy. Yes he is.)
.
Ash: “You were talking to the dog weren’t you? Just admit it, Martin.”:
.
.
Marty: “Ok, ok…Yes…I was talking to Sammy…But you’re special to me too, Ash.”
.
Ash: “Please….Start that rumor.”

“You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
You’d be like heaven to touch
I wanna hold you so much
At long last, love has arrived
And I thank God I’m alive
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you…”:
.
.
(^^^Image from film ‘Miracles from Heaven.’)
.
.
“…Pardon the way that I stare
There’s nothin’ else to compare
The sight of you leaves me weak
There are no words left to speak
But if you feel like I feel
Please let me know that it’s real
You’re just too good to be true
Can’t take my eyes off of you
.
I love you, baby
And if it’s quite alright
I need you, baby
To warm the lonely night
I love you, baby
Trust in me when I say
.
Oh, pretty baby
Don’t bring me down, I pray
Oh, pretty baby
Now that I’ve found you, stay
And let me love you, baby
Let me love you…”

“Can’t Take My Eyes Off You” by Frankie Valli (although I hear the Lauryn Hill version in my head, LOL!)….

Characters from left to right: Hope, Mel, Jack, and Charmaine in a scene from ‘Virgin River’:

.
.Then the lighthearted conversation turned to women aging, getting older….and the ladies flanking Jack wanted to know his opinion, get a male’s perspective, because Jack was the kinda guy who kept it honest and would give it to you straight….no bullsh*t….But Jack wasn’t stupid either and he didn’t fall into potential traps….He reads and he’s woke as f*ck….Woke as f*ck enough to quote late author Susan Sontag’s ‘The Double Standard of Aging.’
.Jack: “Women have another option. They can aspire to be wise, not merely nice; to be competent, not merely helpful; to be strong, not merely graceful; to be ambitious for themselves, not merely for themselves in relation to men and children. They can let themselves age naturally and without embarrassment, actively protesting and disobeying the conventions that stem from this society’s double standard about aging. Instead of being girls, girls as long as possible, who then age humiliatingly into middle-aged women, they can become women much earlier – and remain active adults, enjoying the long, erotic career of which women are capable, far longer. Women should allow their faces to show the lives they have lived. Women should tell the truth.”
.Yeah he stunned them…They didn’t know what to say next…so they sat in silence for the next few minutes, tranquil….Thinking…
.Hope: “I wonder if Charmaine will ask Mel to be her nurse/midwife?…AWK-ward!…Man, I could inhale a blood orange margarita right now–for optimal dose of vitamin C, of course…”
.
Charmaine: “Jack said erotic….Now I have Prince’s ‘Erotic City’ stuck in my head…I’m totally turned on….”
.
Mel: “I f*cking love this man.”
.
LOL! Ditto..

Nathan: “As with everything in life, among the joy and accomplishments will be disappointments, setbacks, and hardships, times when we’re absolutely catching hell….Times when your heart just isn’t in it….But if you’ll trust me, stay an active participant, stay fully engaged, stay fair, honest and understanding, I promise to stick with you, to walk beside you, to keep going forward.”:
.
.Mer: “Dude…you can stop auditioning now…You got the part and you got my heart…I may not like everything you do or agree with everything you say…but you’re funny, positive, respectful, smart, and kind…I f*cking dig you…And one thing you can count on is that I will never turn on you …Just keep holding my hand.”:
.
.Will NEVER turn on you…but will definitely turn you on…See what I did there? LOL!

He: “As long as we genuinely care about each other and we’re having fun–we don’t have to define our relationship for anyone…not even for ourselves…”:
.
.
Don’t know why he interrupted you…Usually he’s a great listener (as well as an attentive lover). LOL!…You already showed him…now…Tell him…
.“Sweet sweet tell him
.
Let me be patient let me be kind
Make me unselfish without being blind
Though I may suffer I’ll envy it not
And endure what comes
Cause he’s all that I got and
Tell him…
.
Tell him I need him (yeah)
Tell him I love him (tell him)
And it’ll be alright
Tell him tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It’ll be alright
.
Now I may have faith to make mountains fall
But if I lack love then I am nothin’ at all
I can give away everything I possess
But left without love then I have no happiness
I know I’m imperfect (I know I’m imperfect)
And not without sin (and not without sin)
But now that I’m older all childish things end
And tell him…
.
Tell him I need him (yeah)
Tell him I love him (tell him)
And it’ll be alright
Tell him tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
It’ll be alright
.
I’ll never be jealous
And I won’t be too proud
Cause love is not boastful
Oooh and love is not loud
Tell him I need him
Tell him I love him
.
Now I may have wisdom and knowledge on Earth
But if I speak wrong then what is it worth?
See what we now know is nothing compared
To the love that was shown when our lives were spared
And tell him…”
.“Tell Him” by Lauryn Hill:
.
.She: “I have a few more errands to run before our farm to table dinner date with friends….Can you set the outdoor table…fill the fire pit…clean the grill…and chill the wine?…And in about an hour bring the pie in off the kitchen windowsill. It should be cool by then…Thanks honey darling baby…Love you…”
.
He: “I got this, babe.”:

As old jazz played on vinyl in the background, he read the myriad handwritten love letters from fans around the globe, one by one…Slowly sipping a dirty martini, stirred–not shaken, he wondered how some of the fans managed to take nude, jay-butt-naked-ass pictures of themselves, included with the letters, with Polaroid cameras:

(P.S. Marty doesn’t actually drink alchie. I’m joshin’ here.)
