It was a busy month for festivals and celebrations in Cait's religion, but she didn't forget about Valentine's Day. She had made some chocolate (shade grown of course) covered strawberries, some chocolate chocolate chip cookies, and some brigadieros and put them all in small packages to hand out to the folks at Xavier's.

For Aaron she made for him a small package of the goodies and also a few coupons worth one night out to dinner and a movie on her along with a coupon for a massage. She went looking for her boyfriend.

Apparently, the traditional food was roasted goat.

Lulu had no idea how to barbecue a goat, so she'd bribed Sally Guiles to go to that Lebanese restaurant a ways away for her. Then she'd made lemonade and chilicocoa. The collective smells will waft when she knocks on Rufus's door.

Giovanna opened her eyes and noted that this morning, it was Andrew's bed. She stared for a while at him before checking the clock and kissing him. "Good morning, mon ange. We have a few things to get done, and I'd like to be finished before this evening."

Vincent was single this Valentine's Day, but he was determined not to let himself be dragged down by that. To that end, he'd arranged friend-dates with three ladies he was inordinately fond of.

I arise from dreams of thee
In the first sweet sleep of night,
When the winds are breathing low,
And the stars are shining bright.
I arise from dreams of thee,
And a spirit in my feet
Hath led me -- who knows how?
To thy chamber window, Sweet!

The wandering airs they faint
On the dark, the silent stream--
And the Champak's odours
Like sweet thoughts in a dream;
The nightingale's complaint,
It dies upon her heart,
As I must on thine,
O belovèd as thou art!

O lift me from the grass!
I die! I faint! I fail!
Let thy love in kisses rain
On my lips and eyelids pale.
My cheek is cold and white, alas!
My heart beats loud and fast:
O press it to thine own again,
Where it will break at last!

Percy Bysshe Shelley

Eli Paravich knows little of the Valentine's Day holiday; if one asked him, his idea sprung from a conversation he'd had with Luna over the phone the other day. He sat in Iason's Penthouse (as Eli couldn't yet think to call it his own) sketching a design for a dress that he thought Vernique would look good in when his thoughts turned to Luna and her trip with Aine through Europe.

Luna mentioned that she hadn't finished that trip and Eli had been curious about their destinations. Then it came to him.

"I will ask Luna to take me through her trip." Eli says, standing and going to the shower to get read. Forty-five minutes later, Eli readies himself to call Luna...and realizes that it is 2 a.m. Pacific. He couldn't very well call Luna whilst she slept, so he found other things to do.

Seven hours later, Eli hoped Luna would be awake as he called her number.

Shelly was reasonably certain Matt didn't do Valentine's Day.  He didn't seem the type and while that was a bit of a downer it didn't mean that she wasn't going to somehow get to spend the evening with him.  To that end she had casually invited him out for some food and then a movie, careful to make absolutely no mention of Valentine's Day in conjunction with things.  She'd already put her big foot in her mouth with talking about feelings and that sort of thing so screwing up and acting like Valentine's Day was important was something the good doctor was trying to avoid.

...she bought herself a box of chocolates and stashed it in her desk drawer in anticipation of the day being ignored anyway.  Nothing to see here, move along.

So instead of Valentine's Day, Shelly had made plans to meet up with Matt at Emperess, the Chinese place around the corner from his place.  She did, however, dress up a little for the occasion.  When else would she get a chance to wear her killer zebra heels?
