MPKid, you are right about the $80. Someone also pointed out that the reason she waited till the last minute was so that she could make an impact and a statement. Giving it early would have negated that somewhat because I would have emptied my pockets 1) out of guilt for her clever and creative effort and the $ amount, and 2) out of shame for being so ill prepared. So, she clearly was never concerned about the amount given or getting the money back. Just giving me a message. Of course I am just too dumb to pick up on all the nuances and implications. Lol. Somebody told me that Chinese girls "verbalize" their emotions through their actions, the things they do for you. I am seeing that right now, and thinking back on all the things that she has done for me. I guess I going to have to drop a "bomb" on Valentine's day just to compensate. Urrgh, the pressures of a relationship!!!!!
