Lio by Mark Tatulli for February 13, 2013

He did just what the sign said…

Her face SPLIT. The skin and hair fell off of her face, so there was nothing left, but a SKULL! Orange light came from her hair and lit all around. And FIRE shot from EYE SOCKETS and to burn his stomach . . .

Next, Eva will show him a thing or two with a knife.

Liō’s become a vandal!

Paper – the first anniversary gift.

Lio is all boy, is he not? Eva Rose will take advantage of this handicap and again crush his profession of love.

Interesting. Eva did not immediately destroy Lio’s token of affection. What’s up??

Probably not. Even though she treats him like dirt, she’s thinking that the jerk should have come across with more than that.

You the man Lio.

I actually did something similar to this about seven years ago. I and my girlfriend developed a code word for, generally, anything related to our future plans: “spices.” (“a coworker showed me a really nice spice rack she got from Jared’s” … etc. The idea was to not artificially inflate her son’s hopes.) So, on our anniversary, I gave her a can of parsley. But, unlike Lio, the actual “spice” was taped to the back of it … and for those wondering about the rest of the story, our sixth anniversary is a little over 4 weeks away.

This will not work Lio.

It is so hard to get on with your life when the one you love says ‘No’.

Even Eva pauses to consider the possibility of a real diamond…

naw!

I used this last year but still rings true:Marriage is a 3-ring circus.First the Engagement ringSecond the Wedding ringThird the Suffer ring
