    AS BIG as the holiday was; The Love Club absolutely despised Valentine's Day. Even more now than ever. Last year was bad. Maybe a handful of people stopping by the club for last minute help with gifts, the asking of someone out, dinner plans, if something leads to something more. They had heard it all. This year was different. People stopping each member in the hallway for something.

Shiloh had been carrying around a crate full of people who had stopped by the club (or a member) today. A full crate of people who wanted or needed something from someone in the club. Normally, Valentine's Day was the day the Love Club would help a person or two, a couple here and there, and after that, they would have a little Love Club party as a small celebration, but because so many people had come along this time around and Jenna was now apart of the musical, that party may not happen.

Shiloh had quickly walked past the bomb shelter trying her best to make it back to the club room in case someone would stop by.

She stopped for a moment and backtracked as she took notice of her boyfriend sleeping by one of the lockers.

She sat her crate down close by and squatted down.

"Ricky." She whispered, "Ricky... Richard."

He shot his eyes open and looked over at a smiling Shiloh.

"Why are you so tired?" She asked.

"I stayed up late... working."

"Working?"

Ricky nodded, almost unsure of his answer. He was working that was for sure. He had this whole plan for tonight. Ricky wanted this Valentine's Day to be different than the previous ones. He was going to (and very determined) tell Shiloh that he loved her. Nothing was going to get in the way of that.

"Getting ready for the musical, you know. The Menkies seem important to everyone."

Shiloh smiled, standing to her feet, and held her hands out for Ricky to grab.

"I respect the hustle." She joked, "Don't overwork."

"I think you should telling yourself that."

Ricky picked up the semi-heavy crate and handed it off to Shiloh.

"My job is-"

"Never done. I know, but doesn't hurt to take a break every now and then." Ricky said, "Especially tonight."

"What's tonight?"

"Well, it is Valentine's Day. I was hoping to spend the day with my girlfriend."

Shiloh glanced down at the crate in her hands. She didn't know what was completed and what hadn't been touched yet. She did know that she wanted to spend the rest of the day with her friends and her boyfriend.

"I promise, tonight. I am all yours. No Love Club, no folders, nothing Love Club related. You and I." She reassured.

"Take a break."
