The woman arrived home that evening to a beautiful table 4 with their best dishes. Candles were softly glowing. Her husband had come home early and prepared a festive meal. She 5 if someone from the office had 6 him off, or... did he just 7 know that she would not get turned down? She found him in the kitchen and told him the good 8. They embraced and kissed, then 9 down to the wonderful meal. Next to her plate the woman found a beautifully lettered note. It 10: "Congratulations, darling! I knew you'd get the raise! These things will tell you how much I love you."
11 the supper, her husband went into the kitchen to clean up. She 12 that a second card had fallen from his pocket. Picking it off the 13, she read: "Don't worry about not getting the raise! You 14 it anyway! These things will tell you how much I love you."
