First Valentine's Day since she left.

You can be my Valentine, Matt. Boys are icky, anyway.

*Hugs her tight* And you are the best Valentine I could have asked for, Princess.

This means you have to get me flowers and take me out for dinner, right?

Exactly. And you have to dress up pretty for me. *Ruffles her hair*

I'll be the prettiest girl there, and everyone will be jealous of you. *Grins up at him*

That is so true.

And you'll be my handsome prince.

*Laughs* That's pushing it, but I can try.

No, no, no, you are. And then everyone will look at us and want to be our friends, but we'll be too important for them.

*Grins* If you say so, Princess.

I do! We're gonna be wonderful.

Well then. Where do you want me to take you, lovely lady?

Somewhere good.

How about Italian?

Okay!

Great. Go get dressed up, sweetie.

You too, Matt.

Yeah, yeah. Going.

Oh, sir. I'm sorry.

Yeah, thanks.

Were you together long?

We were married about three years.

I'm sorry.

I'll get over it. Thanks.

It'll be a good day for you. You said yourself that you couldn't trust her again. Someone like that shouldn't get you down.

Yeah, I know. It's just this stupid holiday.

*Small smile* Though I'm still going to have a date. My daughter says we're going to turn heads.

Give it a new personal reason to be special to you.

*grins* That's great! I'm sure you're going to make an adorable couple. She's right!

She's my little Princess. She'll make us adorable.

It takes two to make a couple, Matt. *smiles*

Yeah, yeah. *Grins*

You should make a new tradition with your little Valentine.

Yeah. Sounds good.
