This story somehow manages to straddle a line that has cute and hopeful on one side and sad melancholy on the other. This is a new-to-me author so I’m unsure if this is her usual MO, but it works here. 
 
Both Holly and John are thoughtful people. They “meet” due to a misplaced Valentine and correspond strictly through little notes on Holly’s car. It’s very sweet how John feels a need to make sure he didn’t offend Holly and also has an urge to take care of her. To be fair, John seems to have the urge to care for anyone around him…it’s in his nature. With Holly being a hospice nurse, these two are great for each other. 
 
Even without significant time on the page together, this story is a wonderful short story. I still felt their connection and was rooting for them to find happiness.
