“Alright.  So.  Here’s the thing,” Blaine’s voice greeted Claire from behind as he carried two drinks they’d ordered from the barista in the way too busy coffee shop.  It was a miracle they were able to snag a table without having to stare down someone else for it.  “I’m thinking so what if we’re both single for Valentine’s Day.  I have a solution for that.  Because neither one of us is going to spend it alone and wallowing in self pity.”  His smile spread wide, brightening his eyes along with it. “I say you and me,” he sat her drink down beside her hand and pointed back and forth between his chest and hers.  “We go out, get dinner.  Eat obnoxiously fattening desserts and see where night takes us.”

“I don’t know,” he shrugged before taking a seat, “What do you think?  Could be FUN?”
