From Amazon.com: Sometimes, when you want to tell your sweetheart how you feel, the only thing to do is tear that muscle that pumps your blood right out of your chest and afix it to your beloved's door with a hat pin.

The art is simply gorgeous. I love the modern twist on the Harelequin and Columbine characters.
