[Rose looks perturbed, chewing on her lower lip]

I...realize that we all have our concerns right now, but I was--well, I was hoping for assistance?

Valentine's Day is quickly approaching and I want to do something really special for Snow now that we're together. Something beyond the usual flowers and chocolates and cards, although she'll get all three from me.

But of course this depends on whatever we're being put through this month. I'd still like to find some way to make it special. [and her expression turns stern] And if The Doorway chooses to do something truly awful to us, I'll never forgive them!

[and back to smiling!]

In any case, I appreciate your assistance and your ideas most of all. Thank you.

I suppose so. Though, part of me feels that if he was going to arrive, he would have by now. It's been a year. Shouldn't that be...long enough?

It's all right. If you don't feel comfortable doing so.

It's hard to know. You might have to wait a while. I... know that some people have waited for years for people they care about to appear. It happens, unfortunately.

... Ah, I just... suppose my idea of romance is quietly reading books together. So I'm not the best at suggesting romantic things.

Goodness gracious! I'm not sure I have the patience for that, to wait so long.

No, that can be romantic, especially if you and the other are reading romantic novels. Nothing too crass, obviously, but something by maybe Jane Austen would be suitable.

It was definitely an unusual situation, but so is this place.

... I'm not familiar with that author. But there are many authors here I'm unfamiliar with.

Then I would definitely recommend giving Austen a try! Her characters are so vivid, so real--even the ones which were meant as parodies of the day. And her books provide a good blueprint for how a woman was expected to be wooed and won in her day.

I can give it a chance. I'm not much of a fiction reader, but if it's a recommendation from a friend, then I should at least try it.

Good! They're really wonderfully written. And I'd tell you to start with 'Pride and Prejudice,' but that's her masterwork. You need to work up to it.
'Emma' or 'Sense and Sensibility' are good starters.
