Wife had to work last night as usual. Right before we left, I went to the kitchen with her cards, a gift card to a store she likes, and some chocolates. Was just going to set the bags of candy there, but thought I could do better.
Later, after we got home, she told me she had walked out into the kitchen right before we left and saw it. I thought she might, but it was worth the chance, and not like it was wasted effort.
