Alexa had been nervous about Valentine's Day since the epic fail of telling Remi she loved him. That hadn't gone over well and the idea of just how badly she might bungle a love-based holiday made her green more often than the morning sickness did. Now that the day had arrived, though, she found herself doing better than expected. She was also fairly organized and had Remi's gift ready well in advance: all of the supplies to take care of his salt water tank as well as a component he'd wanted for some time. She'd even managed to find some candied sea urchins for him, a delicacy he'd mentioned in passing that he enjoyed.

The card, however, was a surprise. She had it sitting on her lap as she waited for him to show up.
