Deep in her Eyes

I'm looking deep into her eyes *Looking into her eyes... is like opening a door that leads... to another door* Wait..really?  OK...I open the door. *This door leads to a long, winding path, like the winding path of your love.   The path leads to a third door* O...K. I open the door. *This door leads to a spiral staircase descending down, down, down,  deep into her soul. At the bottom of the staircase is--* A door? A door. I open the door The door is locked.  The key might be under the mat Seriously?  I check under the mat Nope, not there.  Maybe try under the small rock next to the door Oh for the love of...I check the rock There is a key Wonderful...I unlock and open the door *Inside this door is a large atrium the glass ceiling giving way to a beautiful summer night, the stars twinkling in the distance.  At the far end of the Atrium, there is a curtain* Sigh I pull aside the curtain There is a door Come on!  I open the ruddy door. *You find yourself in a long hallway, with fine art hanging along the walls. Crimson carpet lines the floor. At the end of the hall is a door  locked with a combination biometric fingerprint scanner/retinal scanner* What. *You have 10 seconds to unlock the door before the hunter-bots de-atomize you* What!?  Ok! I try my fingerprints and eye! *The door unlocks and the hunter-bots stand down. In the next room are three vials.  Two of them contain terrible neuro-toxins that will lead to an excruciatingly painful death.  The third will allow you to continue on to the next room.  You have 30 seconds to choose before you are terminated* What the hell is this!? This is the path to true love hidden deep in her eyes No, this is insanity! 15 seconds OK!  Geez!  Umm..Vial Number 2! You're totally dead Oh god! Just kidding.  None of them had poison...was just messing with you THAT'S IT!  I'M DONE WITH THIS Really?  There's only one more door.  I swear ...Fine.  What ridiculous thing do I need to do to open it. *It's already open.  You find yourself in a circular room with a pedestal in the center.  On the pedestal is a hand written note.  On that note is the key to everlasting happiness* I pick up the note *You smell sweet hints of your beloved's perfume and notice the care that each word of the note was written.* What does the note say? *My love: Next Tuesday Only --  Buy One-Get One Free at J.J's Pizza.  Cannot be combined with any other offers/coupons.  Must present coupon upon purchase.  Expires 1/14/14* ...An expired coupon for Pizza? Such a wonderful expression of love! How do I get out of here... You see a door .
