Elaine Cook and her boyfriend of 10 months went out last week for Valentine’s Day, returned to her apartment and got in a fight.

She asked him to leave. He wanted to end the argument. So he leaned in for a kiss.

That’s when prosecutors said she bit off a “large” piece of his tongue.

Now the 51-year-old Cook, of the 9400 block of Lockwood in Skokie, is charged with aggravated domestic battery.

She was arrested Friday, records show, and Cook County Judge Israel Desierto ordered her held Sunday in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Her boyfriend, meanwhile, said he has “a lot of mixed feelings.” He said he’s trying to heal after losing the right side of his tongue, and he asked not to be named.
