Valentine's Day Massac...er...Dinner!
Everything Sammy knew about Valentine’s Day romance she learned from Nick. Flowers and candy. A really nice piece of jewelry. Reservations to Mom’s favorite restaurant. A late night slow dance on the terrace under the stars. Sneaking upstairs past the kid’s room and closing the door to the parents’ room. If she’d been dating a girl, she would’ve known exactly what to do, minus the kid part.

That Valentine’s Day was just around the corner didn’t really register with her. It wasn’t a holiday that she’d ever been involved with other than grade school card exchanges and ‘helping’ Dad pick out a gift for Mom. Also, she was distracted by a second request from Brendon Hill and this time he had a carrot to dangling in front of her. He would help her track down the escaped Zodiac members. Clearly she needed to talk to someone. This was what boyfriends were for, right?

He nods. "He was always a little distant, but it was clear he loved me."

"He would be very proud of you," she said firmly. "You're a pretty wonderful guy."

He smiles at her, a little embarrassed. "Well, thanks. I don't know what he'd think about my... job... but..."

"Your job is protecting people and you do it with a great deal of skill and dignity. Don't make me shake my finger at you." She reached over the table to squeeze his hand. "No one is allowed to downplay the work you do, not even you."

He nods. "I know. I feel good about the work I do. I just doubt my father would understand," he shrugs. "But I know I do good work. I have to."

"If he loved you, he would understand," she said simply. It was obvious she'd never known any doubt on that subject with her own father.

"I'm glad it was Nightingale that carried me off the Empress' ship and covered me up. I don't think I could've lived it down if one of the other guys had taken me off. The teasing is enough. But there is one question that remains unanswered."

"How long before the guys tease you in front of me, so I can twist their arms around?"

"Hopefully they're not that stupid, but stay alert, it could happen." She could take on anybody, but it was a nice feeling to have him take up for her.

"The question is, did Nightingale get a look at my tattoo?" The fancy clock face design had been on display with the tiny costume. She wondered because the idea of Qamar disappointed in her over something that she'd done on a drunken whim did bother her.

"Nightingale... wasn't looking, honestly," he says. "I figure I shouldn't look if I wasn't invited to, and being mind-controlled nullifies any invitation."

He shrugs. "It's the right thing to do," he replies.

That answer said it all. Her guy thought about the right thing when she wasn't capable of it. That was something to remember for the future.

She smiled at him. "Are you busy studying later?"

"I'm inviting you to finish this lovely evening with a movie and hot chocolate. I'd like you to myself in my room, but if you're more comfortable in the rec room that's good too."

He blinks. "That sounds... great." He smiles at her.

"I'll wear pajamas," she warned with a smile. "Flannel. There will be a scary movie, too. You're in luck, though, I make excellent hot chocolate."

"I look forward to it," he replies. "And I don't object to anyone being comfortable." He leans forward.

"But since you brought it up... am I free to ask about the tattoo?"

She leaned forward as well. "You are. I will even show it to you later if you like."

He smiles at her. "Only if I'm not expected to show you mine. That'd mean I'd have to stop and get one."

"No, no. A secret life and a secret religion are about it," he assures her.

"No," he replies with a wink. "I'm dating you, so I'm not available to date myself."
