Details Still Mean EVERYTHING to me

I am a sucker for details.
Small details melt my heart.

We just got back from a  dinner with a group of friends. There were five other couples at the table.  I got off work late because I had to deal with some late parent-teacher conferences. Then I had to run to a copy-place and get some copies of an activity my student will be doing. By the time I got to the restaurant Gerry was  there.

I'm such a romantic or corny person... But Gerard did something that melted my heart. 
He paid for my drink. Everyone else ordered food, but since I had just eatten dinner before arriving for the get-together I didn't order anything. 
It was just a 3dollar refill soda drink. But the fact that he told me to "hush" while everyone was adding up the bill and dividing the total amount so he could pay for my drink, was just very touching to me. 
It wasn't a harsh or negative "hush", it was a "Don't worry about it. I'll pay for it." 

I'm completely melt with small details like that. 

Even though we are married, and there have been plenty of times when he has paid for "my" things, I'm still very stubborn about it. I have always considered myself to be a very independent woman. I like being able to pay for my own things. I'm not one to "ask" to be pampered or "expect" the man to pay for everything. 
Like I said before, I've had negative experiences with men. I learned to not trust or depend on them. So when a guy like Gerard comes around and does small things like that. (which people take for granted sometimes) it really moves me. 

small details like 
A smile from him after a long day at work or school 
A surprise message to say "Good morning" or "Good night" Or "I was just thinking about you." 
Paying for my drink 
A hug 
Holding my hand 
Opening the door for me 

random, small details like that mean a lot to me. 

Tonight was just cute...romantic. 
Details are important to me.  
You know how some people say that even though they have been married for many that there are still things that surprise them about their better half? Well tonight was something like that. Such a small detail and it meant the world to me. Such a small detail that soo many people seem to take for granted. Thank you.

Random thought of the day.. :P
