Love in Cursive

Start with the capital L: a tall loop that rises to the top and falls into a rounded foot along the baseline. Its tail runs straight into the o, so the pen stays down. The o is an oval closed at the top with a short exit stroke at the midline; it hands over to the v with a short bridge at the midline, so the v starts high instead of from the line. The v is an upstroke to the midline, a rounded trough, and an upstroke that ends in a short exit at the midline; it hands over to the e with a short bridge at the midline, so the e starts high instead of from the line. The e is a small loop drawn from the baseline up through the midline and back down, and its exit stroke finishes the word.

Nothing is added after the word: there is no i, j, t or x to dot or cross. A common slip in Love is dropping the exit of v to the baseline, so the next letter starts too low and the pair reads as u.
