"Da!" Siv goes looking for her father

Frank is doing a final lay-out and check for a work-trip starting in the morning "Yes Siv?"

"Tonight's Valentine's Day. You and mom, you have plans I hope?"

"THe reason I ask is, well, if you have a patrol or something, I'll take it so you guys have more time tonight"

"Mm. No, no patrol tonight. Thank you for the offer."

"No problem. I know you two don't need me butting in , but as a Fiona , True Love Conquers all is a big one for me and you two work so hard I thought I'd offer"

"Thank you."

"Cider?" SHe offers

"No, thank you. I need to step down the hall a minute. 'Scuse me?" He takes his travel duffle and heads towards 'the smallest room' (that isn't the phone closet).

Siv nods "Course" And off he goes

But what her father and mother have planned, in details? Are not her biz. And she's mature enough now to accept that
