Valentine Memory and a Wife's Hidden Truth
A narrator recalls a first valentine that shaped his inner life and contrasts it with a later marriage. After a long, evolving relationship with Margaret Stanford and the dying wife Lucy, he discovers a preserved valentine that triggers a revelation about his true past and the wife’s unspoken wish for him to marry Margaret. The twist shows Lucy revealing she sent the card and identifying the fairylike sender as herself.
