Mini Summary: John thinks about his plans for this special day.
Chapter 28 - Valentine's Day
Love was in the air with it being Valentine's Day. Stores were making a killing selling desperate husbands and boyfriends stuff teddy bears and candy in hope of sparing themselves the wrath of their lover.
John was not a man to find himself in that situation. He constantly cherished his relationship with Joss and he had no qualms about letting her know about it each and every chance he got. Today wasn't a day where he would be struggling to express his feelings. Instead, John would be sure to do a little more than he usually did.
Tonight it wouldn't be just dinner and enjoying each other's company. It would be a special night. His loft was filled with an assortment of bouquets with pink, red, and white roses. There was a fine dinner of steak, mash potatoes, and asparagus along with a bottle of red wine. Behind one of the bouquets was a small surprise that John couldn't wait to spring up on Joss.
This was a big step for John being able to celebrate this holiday with her. He had thought that he would never be able to find love again after Jessica's death. Then Joss dropped into this life and the rest was history. John wanted to take that next big step with her but he wasn't ready just yet. Hopefully, Joss would understand the gift of diamond earrings that were inside the velvet box.
He had faith that she would and that Joss would be patient with him. She understood him and his past when she learned something new. John loved her because she didn't turn away from him but instead embrace him with open arms. That's why he would constantly remind her how much he cared.
Today he would just do a little more caring than other days.
