Cordelia stifled a yawn.
"Well, you look tired."
"I am. I woke up early to get down here."
Shadow nodded. "I'll leave you then. Thank you again for the chocolate. And happy Valentine's Day." He stood up and headed towards the door. Cordelia stood behind him and watched as he exited. She flopped down on the bunk happily.

"Here we are," Serge said as they entered the back door of Irving Hall. Serge nodded at a young man who was manning the door. They walked to the wings of the stage
"It's a Valentine's day show." Mahalia smiled as she heard the dance orchestra begin a light waltz.
"May I have this dance?" Serge asked. Soon the two of them were waltzing about back stage as if it was their own personal dance floor.
"Happy Valentine's Day, Halie." he said softly. He proceeded to interrupt their dance with a soft kiss.

"I had a wonderful night, Serge," Mahalia said as they reached the front steps of the lodging house.
"I'm glad you enjoyed yourself," Serge said happily, and he kissed her goodnight

"I've been waiting for you," Cordelia whispered from the bunk next to Mahalia's. "It's been a wonderful night."
Mahalia could hear her friend smiling as she talked. She too smiled. "Yes it has. I've always loved Valentine's Day."
Cordelia scoffed. "You know that's not true. But now that Serge is around…"
"Like you were a Valentine's fan before you laid eyes on Shadow."
"Actually, if you'll remember I always, said - "
"SHHH!" someone hissed.
"We'll talk tomorrow. Good night." Mahalia whispered.
The two girls drifted off to sleep, smiling as they thought of their unexpected but wonderful nights.
