Weekend Reading, 2.14.26 – The Stripe

Happy Valentine’s Day. We have a fancy dinner plan tonight, a chill day tomorrow. This week was great, but just a hair more social than I would have liked it to be (plans three nights in a row! The horror!). I’m looking forward to a relaxing one and maybe convincing Geoff to watch Love Story with me. We will see! Whatever you’re up to, I hope it’s great. xx
