“No, no Tori I’m fine.” Matt shakes his head before getting into a coughing fit. “See?” 

“Oh yeah the coughing fit is real convincing,” Tori answered rolling his eyes.  “Come on I’m getting you an uber.  You’re going home.”

“I don’t know if there is a point, at all. All I know is that there will be an extra amount of flowers everywhere and chap chocolate,” he said back with a shrug. “And every restaurant will be booked for sure. Take out is really my go-to for that day.”

“And what’s wrong with flowers?  They’re so pretty and cheerful plus they smell wonderful.  Cheap chocolate is a perk.  It’s like that after Halloween too when the stores put what they didn’t sale on sale.”

“I’m fine, I feel fine, thank you for asking.” Matt nodded with a couple sniffs, trying to brush off the fact that he feels the opposite of what he claimed with his cold.

“Matthew, don’t lie to me.  You look and sound like shit.  You need to go home and rest.  Don’t be stubborn right now.  You’ll only make things worse if you don’t rest soon.”

“Goodness,” said Benjamin as he looked at the calendar, realizing how close the date was. A week and a couple of days away, while made him feel his collar a little tight. “I’m assuming almost everyone will be doing the cliché things for Valentine’s, right? Dinners, flowers, movies date sort of thing right? That’s the expected thing to do.”

“But isn’t that the point of Valentine’s Day?  To do all the cliche romantic, date things?  Besides you have to eat anyways so why not use it as an excuse to go out for dinner.  Flowers in winter can be a real nice change from all the horrible white everywhere.”

“It does seem to be getting worse. “ He agreed, with a nod of his head. “I don’t think it’s worth the risk. The wind really seems to be going out there. The power’s supposed to be out soon. We should probably stay put.”

“Oh wonderful,” Victoria replied groaning.  “I had hoping they were exaggerating how bad the storm is.  ...Well at least we’ll have plenty of alcohol, probably got some food here somewhere too.”

♦️Are they concerned with the social status of their partner? 

Yes very much so.  Tori doesn’t want to date anyone with bad press or a bad reputation and she doesn’t want to date anyone poor or who will drag her reputation and/or business down in any other way.

It was the night of the storm and Nathan was eager to get home. He had heard all the warnings about the weather and he wasn’t looking forward to being out in it. It didn’t sound good to say the very least. But, he had to be at a meeting at the Red Queen. He had figured that it wouldn’t take very long. He had wanted to get done and get out of there especially since it meant being alone with Victoria. His feelings had been surfacing more and more lately. The meeting was just wrapping up and he was about to leave when things started to seem bad. “Is the weather really picking up out there?”

After the meeting Victoria had planned on going home with the storm she had figured business would be slow.  No point in having the club open if no one would be coming, might as well make her electricity bill lower if she could.  “It seems to be getting worse.  Think it’s worth the risk going out there and trying to get a cab?” she asked looking out the window at the strong wind and rain.

Sykes let a hand slip into his pocket as the woman spoke, an amused curl on his lips. “Are you in need of pocket money, Victoria? Business letting you down?” He watched her taking the notes - there were plenty in there. He took the wallet back from her when she was done scavaging.

“No business is doing just fine.  I just don’t feel like paying for my own shopping spree,” she answered shrugging.  “And you seem like you can afford to help pay for one.”

“That,” Sykes took a step closer to the individual that was holding his wallet. It had slipped from his pocket as he’d pulled out his mobile - damn these trousers. Luckily he’d turned around quick enough once he noticed its missing weight to catch someone standing with if aloft. “Would be mine.”

“I was going to give it back,” Victoria replied smirking, still clutching the wallet. “I was just going to check for id and maybe take a finder’s fee, speaking of which,” she said opening the wallet and taking out a couple of bills.  “Here you go.”

“I know you do. But sometimes things just don’t work out the way you hoped and you have to adjust.” He offered. He knew that deep down she was still hoping that he would end things with Tessie. Part of him was struggling with his feelings. But he wasn’t about to get into that with her. “I’m surprised to hear that.”

“I could but that’s not really in my nature.  I tend to find changing my plans for as long as possible unless of course I’m the one who changes my mind,” she responded.  “Is it?  Sometimes finding hobbies are difficult and it’s not always easy to find people interesting who aren’t in love with someone else.  Ruining a relationship isn’t my style.  I might flirt a little but if I know they’re with someone I don’t usually start an affair, know what it feels like to be on the other end after all.”

“I’m sure that this year will be more memorable and exciting for you.” He was surprised that she hadn’t had a lot happen to her last year.  “Well then that’s what you should do. Put yourself out there and experience more things. You never know what you might find or what might happen if you do.”

“Hopefully, I hate when things don’t go according to plan,” Victoria said sighing.  “Yeah I’m working on that.  Just struggling to find anything interesting that I want to put myself out there for.”

“Real?” He echoed the word she used, a light igniting in the back of his eyes and mind, and whatever she might’ve said after was no longer of interest to him. “What makes it a real secret? It’s truth, or the depth of its secrecy?”

“If you’re gonna be like that go away.  You’re worse than Jervis right now, making zero sense over here,” Tori muttered shaking her head.
