Arlington, VA - Lacking any other reason to leave the house, soccer fan Paul Williams announced that he would be taking his favorite D.C. United scarf out to dinner for Valentine's Day.

“It’s been with me through thick and thin,” stated Williams to The Nutmeg News. “And it’s days like this where I like to take a step back and spend some time with her one on one.”

Williams reportedly booked an intimate booth for two at the P.F. Changs on Vermont street in an effort to rekindle the romance he had with his scarf that is affectionately named “Betsy”

“Betsy has seen the best and the worst of me and she is still here,” stated Williams. “She even stuck around when I was vomiting up Cointreau in the bathroom of the Holiday Inn in Chattanooga. She’s a keeper for certain.”

Williams indicated that it hasn’t always been orange flavor puke and rally in a hotel bathroom in Tennessee, there’s been bad times as well.

“Yeah the playoff loss in 2015 against New Jersey. That was painful. But Betsy was there to pick me up when I was down and she just comforted me with all the warmth that she could give.”

The Nutmeg News will have more on this as Williams is chastised for spending his entire date night on the phone.
