Story Sent in by Franklin:

I spoke for a little bit online with Jess before we finally had an in-person date. We sat down to lunch at a restaurant and she handed me a homemade card. She was an artist and had drawn some really lovely abstract ink images on the outside of it. It was very thoughtful and a pleasure to look at.

Then I opened it up and saw that her designs continued on into the inside. But there were also a few large reddish-brown dots that looked like paint spatters. They didn't really fit in with the design and I asked her, "Is this paint?"

She said, "Blood."

"Uh..."

She went on, "I bled a little bit on it. For you."

"...why?"

She said, "I just felt like it. Now you'll always have a piece of me."

"...thanks."

"You're welcome!" she said brightly.

Only date.
