Jessie couldn't believe her eyes. Stuffed into her mailbox was the biggest Valentine she had ever seen. She went over to the mailbox and grabbed the colorful red heart card attached to a gigantic heart shaped box of chocolates. "I wonder..." she murmered, and began searching for the name that would tell who the Valentine belonged to, since the card had no name. She found the answer to her question on a tag attached to the ribbon that has been carefully tied around the box to form a neat bow. I lift up the little white tag. Alessandra. I grimace. For a brief moment I had actually allowed myself to think that maybe, just maybe, there was the tiniest chance that this Valentine was for me. But, of course, I was wrong. Same as usual. I'm tempted to take the candy even though it's not mine, but I figure I'll end up with the thought of stealing my sister's Valentine on my conscience, so I grab the box, shove it under my arm, and begin the muddy walk back up my driveway.
