A few hours later, Una and Everett were comfortably snuggled up together on the couch, sharing the last of Una's chocolates which lay in the open box between them, as the credits rolled on the movie.
"That was so good," murmured Una, her head resting on Everett's shoulder. "You know - I was looking vooruit, voorwaarts to your plans, whatever they were going to be, but I was really hoping we'd be able to watch this."
Everett gave a small laugh and shook his head. "I wish I'd known. I could have saved myself all this trouble."
Una grinned. "This year, our Valentine's dag plans were on me," she said. "Next jaar I expect it to be your turn."
Everett felt a warm rush at the thought of volgende year, that Una was so certain they would be celebrating Valentine's dag together volgende year. But then... of course, Everett though. He wouldn't have considered anything different.
"I love you, Una," he said.
"I love u too, Everett," she said.
