Marley doesn’t celebrate Valentines, but she capitalizes on discount candy the day after. (Chocolate dipped in blood is apparently delicious, but it’s hard to trust her taste).

Tabor picks up extra work shifts at the Coffee Shop and stares, somewhat sadly at all the couples. His friends, particularly Blake, are always good to repay him though.

So long as Scarlet doesn’t have to work, she and Amber have a very quiet and intimate day of pampering. It’s also the only day where spirits are banned (and salt lined) out of their home. Amber treasures Valentines as a holiday of peaceful ritual (and warm baths and sweet smells and deep kisses).

Piperit, although single, sends a professional Valentine to Marian and his respected library regulars. They’re all surprisingly sincere. He dotes on the “Featured” section (novels with romantic focus, usually heavy on YA material) more around this time of year than any other.

Nadia spends the day in the graveyard with the many spirits that have no where to go. She listens to their stories of love and passion and writes them down. She tries to get to everyone, but no one seems to mind as the day wanes and she grows tired. She sometimes takes breaks to buy flowers for the graves of the sadder spirits; a peaceful offering in dark times for the lost.
