The sunshine and light breeze offers little comfort as Lana stands outside of the door.  A bundle of nerves.  In one hand, Lana clutches the handles of a cloth shopping bag, hanging by her hips.

And her opposite hand is extended forward; a finger trembling as it hovers a scant distance from a buzzer button.

 She doesn’t like this feeling.  This gnawing hesitation--the kind of fear that precedes a fight or flight response.  But she pushes the thoughts from her mind.  Reminding herself, that she is still, in fact, acting foolish.  It had been long enough, and it was nigh time that she nip this in bud.  

Her finger finally presses the buzzer for “C. JAMES/C. LAWSON”.

FROM: ELLA CARR

Lana, Had to do a little research on this one but I figured you’d like it. Thanks for a great date. I hope we can see each other again soon. :-) – Sincerely, Ella

You hear that, Dr. Sullivan?  A beautiful, charming woman got you a physics related card, and wants to see you again.  YOU!  Dr. Lana Sullivan, particle physicist and nerd extraordinaire.  You. @outsidethelines​

FROM: HAYLEY WOODWARD

To Lana, Happy Valentine’s day. Hope you’re giving drinks other than martinis a fair shake on this day! – From Hayley

Okay...admittedly, I was a little too aggressive toward her that night...and she’s very sweet.  I’ll have to make it up to her by getting her a martini next time.  Filthy, of course. @hayleygunswood​

FROM: ZENA ASANI

I never got the time to say this as a student, but, thank you for being so patient with me, and for believing in me when I didn’t believe in myself. I know you were just doing your job, but, you did more than anyone else would have. Look ! I still remember f=ma, a=fm, m=fa ! (God, I hope that was right…) From, Zena

Oh, Zena honey...you were an excellent student, it wasn’t particularly hard to be ‘so patient’ with you.  Plus, a grade doesn’t define you.  Your effort and drive are far better indicators of your character than any grade.  You’ve got such a bright future ahead of you!  And yes, you’re right! @simplesublime​

FROM: CJ

[For all her good nature, CJ does not do a good job at taking responsibility when she’s in the wrong. At least not immediately. It’s pretty clear to her that she and Lana have drifted since getting with Sydnee, and while things are still tender — and CJ debates on how best to approach her in person, she figures something like this could be the perfect olive branch. She’d gone herself to build-a bear and crafted him himself.]  

I’m sorry. Let me know how I can help fix this. I miss you.

– CJ

Oh CJ...there’s nothing to fix...we never were...you never lov--...you didn’t do anything wrong. I’m the one who is the idiot here... @grlx-almighty​

vday grams

FROM: ANONYMOUS

you’re super hot and so is your music. miss seeing you at retrograde. happy vday!

FROM: CJ

Your music isn’t actually whack! I’m sorry

-CJ

Brandi stares at the two Valentine’s Day ‘grams as though they were written in Mandarin.  Their very existence defies logic, in Brandi’s eternally jaded mind--she didn’t expect to receive any at all.  

The message from CJ hardly qualifies as a Valentine, and is more or less a tepid attempt at an apology. Brandi tosses it aside.  The anonymous note, however, gives her slight pause.  Who the hell misses her--irascible Brandi West--at Retro?  She stares at it for a few seconds longer before tossing it aside along with CJ’s.  Grabbing her bag, she makes her way toward the front door, intent on seeing her one true love: the studio.
