Valentine's Day

Bill hadn't planned on doing anything in particular for Valentine's Day; that is, until his conversation with Morgan. It had been a spur of the moment kind of thing, asking her on a date, but in Bill's experience spur of the moment things often turned out to be rather brilliant. And as it turned out, it was a good thing he'd been on the main island

Several times during the months she had spent with Cameron, they had planned to attend some event together. John's party and the masque, most memorably. Yet neither was, to her knowledge, the special arrangement of invitation, anticipation, and manufactured awkwardness that humans of the twentieth century called 'a date.'

At Dick's advice, and with his help, she had chosen a simple red dress that would not clash with the Sangraal. Since the occasion was not, as far as she could discern, especially formal - since some number of the people at the club would be wearing nothing at all - she left her hair loosely gathered the way Bill seemed to prefer it, and then settled into a chair in the rec room to wait.

She was not, she supposed, nervous enough for it qualify as a date, since she was not, in fact, nervous at all.

Bill found Morgan in the rec room, and when he saw her nearly let out a wolf whistle, but managed to keep himself from actually doing so. He held the flowers and box of truffles behind his back as he approached her with a charming smile. "You look gorgeous."

"As well for you you've already gained my bed or I'd suspect you of trying to find your way there by flattery." Her tone matched her lifted eyebrow and quirk of a smile that said she teased. In fact, the compliment pleased her. "Since you have, I suppose I may simply accept and thank you, while telling you you look 'brilliant' as ever."

"Thank you, love," Bill replied, then brought his hands around to the front to show her what they held. "Just a small offering for you. The shoppe downtown was out of heart-shaped balloons and singing Valentines."
