I know that sounds boring but, well, they were delivered by my ex. First he texted me to ask if I had any bets I wanted to place for the Belmont tonight. (more on that later) Then he asked if I needed anything from Home Depot. Yeah I knew what that was code for.
I told him lightbulbs and a hibiscus plant if he could find one. He brought the lightbulbs. The hibiscus not so much but of course that wasn't his priority anyway.
Anyway it was good to see him. The cats were thrilled. It is funny because aside from Charlie the other 2 are pretty stand-offish with others. All 3 of them adore my ex. Adso who is the most scaredy-cat plopped himself onto his chest and started purring and kneading. What a nut!
On his way out he grabbed the last of the Cigar of the Month boxes and the torn up and re-glued mandala that I made while I was on my spa retreat. He said "refrigerator art!" I said "yeah well you have no kids but you still have to take care of me". He smirked and said he'd rather have to deal with kids.
People never believe that we are still so close. I'm so happy that we are.

Good to have someone you can count on. Cats know good people when they meet them.

I’m glad he is there for you. That’s definitely speaks volumes for his character. Pets are a good judge of people, they know who is kind nd and loving, and who isn’t.

And did he light you up?
That could be one of my cheap euphemisms
Did you glow?
There's another.
Did he hit the right switch?
I best stop
Not boring at all
Edit
I bet you still get as close as two people can get
