[laughter] And I&#8217;ll be right there to help you. I should just change first because this outfit&#8217;s a little&#8211; you know.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, no, no, no, uh-uh, no, no. I promised you that I would make you dinner, and I intend to keep that promise. So don&#8217;t even think for a second about trying to help me, OK?<\/p>\n<p>OK. Understood, Chef Black. Second of all?<\/p>\n<p>Second of all, why would we bother putting on more clothes when we&#8217;re only gonna be taking them off?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s just&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Hey, if you&#8217;re feeling self-conscious about only being half-dressed, then&#8230; I guess I&#8217;ll just have to join you.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. [laughs]<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I can&#8217;t wait to be with you tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Neither can I. <i>[wistful music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hey, Doug. Whatcha reading?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, hey, JJ. Just looking at this song that Grandpa Doug wrote for Julie.<\/p>\n<p>Can I see?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Wow, this is&#8211;this is great. I can&#8217;t believe I&#8217;ve never seen this before. Or heard the song, for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>Well, the book I found it in was left behind at the Horton Cabin about a year ago. I went to go get it for Julie, but by the time I got back, she was already in bed. So I figured I&#8217;ll just give it to her tomorrow morning.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s nice of you to go get it for her, though. Was that your first time over at the Horton Cabin?<\/p>\n<p>Sure was, yeah.<\/p>\n<p>Did you manage to get back before dark? I know things can get a little spooky when you&#8217;re up there by yourself.<\/p>\n<p>Well, actually, it wasn&#8217;t just me. I also ran into Holly Jonas. <i>[suspenseful sting]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Jada, hi. Sorry, I didn&#8217;t realize that you were home. Can I pour you a glass of wine?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, thanks, but I&#8217;m good. I&#8217;m actually heading out.<\/p>\n<p>Oh. Is this&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. This is the last of it. [sighs] And then I&#8217;ll be officially moved out.<\/p>\n<p>Ooh, Abe, I can&#8217;t tell you how glad I am that Chanel is moving back in with Johnny, oh. Not that I was put out by, you know, being her host here, of course, oh, but I&#8217;m just so&#8211; so happy to see the two of them finally get back on track. Mm. Oh. Oh, Abe, I&#8217;m so sorry. Here I am, chattering on about Johnny and Chanel, and I haven&#8217;t even taken a moment to check in on you about &#8220;Body &amp; Soul.&#8221; Oh, I can&#8217;t imagine how difficult it must have been to give it up.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. It was hard. You know I&#8217;m always&#8211; I will always be proud of the work we did.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>And it was the right decision.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I must say, if there is one bright side to &#8220;Body &amp; Soul&#8221; leaving town, it&#8217;s that I get to spend some quality time alone with my handsome husband.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] Well, you know what? I will drink to that.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. [knock on door] Oh, apparently, I spoke too soon.<\/p>\n<p>All right. [groans] Yeah, OK. <i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Hi, Mom, it&#8217;s me. I&#8217;m just checking in. I know you&#8217;re probably missing Dad today, and trust me, we all are. But I know he&#8217;s doing everything he can to get back to us because he misses us, too. Anyway, I just stopped to get a quick drink on my way home from work, and I don&#8217;t really know when I&#8217;m gonna be home. So if you get this before I see you, just don&#8217;t wait up for me, OK? I love you. Bye.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, well, well, if it isn&#8217;t the new Ms. Salem DA.<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat]<\/p>\n<p>Mind if I join you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[soft orchestration]<\/i> <i>announcer: Like sands<\/i> <i>through the hourglass,<\/i> <i>so are<\/i> <i>the &#8220;Days of Our Lives.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[soft dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Ah. I needed that.<\/p>\n<p>Tough day?<\/p>\n<p>I tell you, I cannot believe there are so many damn criminals in this town. I mean, give a guy a break. They&#8217;re nearly killing me.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve been on the force for years. You&#8217;re just now realizing there&#8217;s a problematic workload?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, well, you know, it&#8211; listen, a coma, it can really do a number on a guy. And it definitely did a number on me. So it&#8217;s just taking a while to get back into the swing of things.<\/p>\n<p>Right.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, especially after that train wreck that Jada left at the police department, and, you know, after she stole my job. So, yeah, no surprise that I&#8217;m feeling a little bit overwhelmed.<\/p>\n<p>You know that Jada didn&#8217;t set out to steal your job, right?<\/p>\n<p>Oh. I get it. OK. Team backstabber, huh? Mm-hmm. Well, you know what? It&#8217;s no surprise, considering that, uh, you pulled the exact same stunt with EJ.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs]<\/p>\n<p>Madam Mayor, I, uh, hope I&#8217;m not interrupting.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any idea what day this is?<\/p>\n<p>I do, actually. Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day to you both. I hope you&#8217;ll accept this as a token of my sincerest apologies for interrupting your evening. However, I thought you might want to discuss this matter privately and in person.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, what matter? [scoffs] What do you want?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m here to talk to you about Jada Hunter.<\/p>\n<p>Are you sure you have to move out?<\/p>\n<p>Beyond sure. This is the last place that I want to be right now. No offense.<\/p>\n<p>No, I completely understand. I guess I was just hoping that if Rafe were to come home, the two of you could still&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Work things out? Yeah. You know, if this was a few days ago, I might have agreed with you. But now, every conversation I have with that man, it just gets worse every time. I even returned the engagement ring last night. I mean, &#8220;return&#8221; is a bit generous. I pretty much tossed it at him.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t mind my asking, what did he say this time to get you so worked up?<\/p>\n<p>I tried to talk to him about EJ setting me up. And you know what he said? He told me that I should just let it go.<\/p>\n<p>What? He said that?<\/p>\n<p>I know, right? I mean, not only did his feelings for me just magically vanish, he has now allied himself with EJ&#8211; EJ DiMera, of all people, a man that he supposedly despises.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t get that.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. Shawn, he thinks that maybe his coma possibly altered his personality somehow, but I don&#8217;t know. Just thinking about this just makes my head hurt.<\/p>\n<p>Jada&#8230; I&#8217;m so sorry. If there&#8217;s anything that I can do&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>You know, at this point, to be honest, I just want this&#8211;just all of this to be over with. You know, after Bobby, I can&#8217;t go through this again. I can&#8217;t. So it&#8217;s&#8211;I think it&#8217;s time that I just move on. Get over it. Move on.<\/p>\n<p>Jada Hunter.<\/p>\n<p>What about her?<\/p>\n<p>[clears throat] Put simply, you have a crisis on your hands. Now, we all knew from the very beginning you putting Jada in Rafe&#8217;s job was a huge misstep.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, please.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve already had to eat crow and suspend her. And to make matters worse, you replaced her with Rafe Hernandez, the very man you had her replace just a few months earlier.<\/p>\n<p>I do not need a former district attorney to tell me how to do my job.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m merely a concerned citizen.<\/p>\n<p>Concerned about what, exactly? You know, not too long ago, your concern nearly ousted Paulina as mayor.<\/p>\n<p>I have no desire to retread that line of events. Believe me. I simply want to help the good people of Salem the best way I know how.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] And how&#8217;s that?<\/p>\n<p>Well, as you so kindly pointed out, I formerly served this great city as district attorney. And at the time, I was working alongside the current police commissioner, Rafe Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p>So?<\/p>\n<p>So you gave him his job back. How about giving me mine back, too?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What stunt did I supposedly pull on EJ?<\/p>\n<p>Not supposedly. You stole his job.<\/p>\n<p>I did not steal his job. Paulina offered it to me. I just accepted it.<\/p>\n<p>OK, I think you mean Paulina and Jada. And from what I understand, Jada orchestrated the whole thing. You know why?<\/p>\n<p>Yes, because she was trying to protect the department from EJ&#8217;s corruption.<\/p>\n<p>No, no, because she wanted a DA that would kowtow to her, one that would look the other way so she could have the free rein to do whatever it was that she wanted.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, come on, Rafe. You don&#8217;t really believe that, do you?<\/p>\n<p>Well, you know, all the pieces, they do fit together nicely, wouldn&#8217;t you agree?<\/p>\n<p>No. I would not agree. And I don&#8217;t think you do either. So why don&#8217;t you tell me what is going on?<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t imagine what this must be like for you. You and Rafe really seemed like such a great couple up until recently.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s fine, honestly. I&#8217;m just thankful that he showed me his true colors before we officially got married.<\/p>\n<p>Well, it&#8217;s my brother&#8217;s loss. You deserve the best. I hope you know that.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks. So do you. [clears throat] Speaking of, how are things going with you and JJ?<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] That is a very good question.<\/p>\n<p>Holly was up there, huh? I suppose she got the key from Maggie. Was she just hanging out, or&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Uh, she was waiting on her boyfriend, Tate Black.<\/p>\n<p>You and Tate friends?<\/p>\n<p>Not exactly. He and Holly were apparently planning to meet at the cabin for some sort of romantic Valentine&#8217;s Day rendezvous.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-hmm. Unless I&#8217;m imagining things, I&#8217;d say you&#8217;re not too happy about that, are you?<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Mm, that was amazing.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Seriously, I could eat it every day for the rest of my life. What&#8217;s it called again?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s spaghetti Bolognese.<\/p>\n<p>Ah, very fancy.<\/p>\n<p>I mean, it&#8217;s just spaghetti with red sauce, but it is one of my best dishes.<\/p>\n<p>And how many dishes are we talking exactly?<\/p>\n<p>OK, you don&#8217;t have to call me out like that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m just wondering. [laughter]<\/p>\n<p>However, I am a little bit out of my comfort zone when it comes to dessert. So I did go with the store-bought option this time. So I hope that&#8217;s OK.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I was kind of hoping we could skip dessert and go straight to something else. <i>[sultry music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Wow. You look&#8211; I don&#8217;t even have the words.<\/p>\n<p>Then don&#8217;t use any words.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[gentle music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You are so beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Finally found those words, huh?<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>So are you ready?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. You?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[sultry music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You sure that you feel safe about this?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. I&#8217;m on the pill.<\/p>\n<p>OK. Great.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, Tate. Nothing&#8217;s gonna go wrong. It&#8217;s gonna be perfect.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Well, it&#8211;it was just awkward, that&#8217;s all. I basically barged in on their romantic getaway. And then I made it even worse by&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>By what?<\/p>\n<p>Well, we were standing there looking at these romantic poems, and I just&#8211; I sort of let it slip that I have feelings for her.<\/p>\n<p>Let it slip?<\/p>\n<p>I basically just blurted it out. Man, it was so embarrassing.<\/p>\n<p>No, hey, don&#8217;t sweat it. I&#8217;ve&#8211;I&#8217;ve been in basically the same situation you are right now.<\/p>\n<p>Really?<\/p>\n<p>A few times, actually.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well, then, tell me, how do I get out of this?<\/p>\n<p>Well, it depends. What&#8217;d Holly say?<\/p>\n<p>Well, she didn&#8217;t really get a chance to say anything, because Tate walked in a minute later, and then I got the hell out of there. And look, I know that she is in a serious relationship, and I have absolutely no intention of getting between her and Tate. But I just&#8211; man, I don&#8217;t know what to do about these feelings.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I think talking about them with someone other than Holly certainly helps. So anytime you need an ear, just&#8211; just let me know.<\/p>\n<p>Well, thanks, man. I appreciate that. You know, I&#8217;m glad I was wrong about you.<\/p>\n<p>What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>Well, ever since I came to Salem, I just&#8211; I had this feeling like you weren&#8217;t too sure about me.<\/p>\n<p>In what way?<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know, just, like, odd, I guess. But like I said, I&#8217;m glad I was wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Actually, you weren&#8217;t wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Huh?<\/p>\n<p>I, uh&#8211; I feel a little weird telling you this, but I guess you deserve to know. I&#8217;ve, uh, sort of been keeping my eye on you.<\/p>\n<p>You have? Why?<\/p>\n<p>Well, to be honest, my mom thought you might have been the one who stole Julie&#8217;s necklace. <i>[dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>I actually haven&#8217;t seen very much of JJ recently. I keep meaning to call him, but I know he&#8217;s been busy with his new job at Salem PD, and so I doubt he has any free time to spare. And it&#8217;s fine.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s Valentine&#8217;s Day. It should be on him to make a little time. [knock on door]<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Hi. I have a delivery for Gabi Hernandez.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s me. Oh. [laughs] Aww. Thank you so much.<\/p>\n<p>Have a great day.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, you too.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. These are lovely. [sniffs] From JJ?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>See? That&#8217;s what real boyfriends do.<\/p>\n<p>Jada, I&#8217;m sorry. I, um&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>No, no, no, please, don&#8217;t be. You should be happy. And you know what? I am glad that at least one of us is having a good Valentine&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, you have got some nerve.<\/p>\n<p>EJ, as urgent as this discussion may seem to you, why don&#8217;t we postpone it until, oh&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, Abraham. It&#8217;s all right, all right? I already have an answer for him, and that answer is no way in hell.<\/p>\n<p>Mm, do you really want Belle Black to continue in the position of district attorney, the woman handpicked by Jada Hunter before her history of lawbreaking was uncovered?<\/p>\n<p>Ah&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>What&#8211; what happens when Jada&#8217;s case goes to trial? Do you really think Belle will be prepared to prosecute?<\/p>\n<p>I have complete faith in Belle Black.<\/p>\n<p>Just like you had complete faith in Jada Hunter, right?<\/p>\n<p>Jada Hunter&#8217;s case will be investigated thoroughly, intensively, and without bias.<\/p>\n<p>[laughs] OK, OK.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m very confident that Belle Black and Rafe, for that matter, they will follow the evidence wherever it leads.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm, so, uh, in other words, justice will never be served. OK. <i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Nothing is going on. I just believe the evidence, that&#8217;s all. In fact, isn&#8217;t that what cops are supposed to do? Follow evidence?<\/p>\n<p>And their intuition. I mean, I think any other cop with any sense would know that Jada would never do the thing she&#8217;s been accused of. I mean, Jada would never break rules to get ahead. She&#8217;s not ambitious like that. She&#8217;s just a&#8211;a hard worker and an honest cop and a really good friend.<\/p>\n<p>Not ambitious? Not&#8211;wow, OK. You don&#8217;t really know Jada that well. You have never seen her go after something that she really wanted, something that she wouldn&#8217;t be denied?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, like I said, she&#8217;s a hard worker. And, yeah, maybe she had her eye on the commissioner job a few years ago, but they gave it to Shawn instead.<\/p>\n<p>Uh-huh. Yep. And, uh, how did little Ms. Hunter seem when she didn&#8217;t get it?<\/p>\n<p>She was disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Why wouldn&#8217;t she be?<\/p>\n<p>OK. Well, I think that she was a little bit more than disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs]<\/p>\n<p>Listen, I&#8230; you know, I heard that you and Shawn broke things off a few weeks ago, speaking of which, and, uh, I just want to say sorry. I know that&#8217;s got to be tough, especially on a day like today.<\/p>\n<p>Suppose so. To be honest, I haven&#8217;t given it much thought.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. OK. You&#8217;re playing it tough. It&#8217;s good for you. But, you know, there&#8217;s no need to hold back on my account. Here you are. You&#8217;re all alone on the most romantic night of the year. You know, just&#8211; there&#8217;s no shame in wanting a little masculine comfort.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><i>[gentle music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>[sighs]<\/p>\n<p>[laughs]<\/p>\n<p>Well, that was&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t have the words?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I do have the words. That was everything I dreamed it would be, and more.<\/p>\n<p>It was the same for me.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>[sighs] God, I know it took a long time for us to get here, but I&#8217;m just so happy my first time was with you. It wouldn&#8217;t have been the same with anyone else. I&#8217;m sorry, I didn&#8217;t mean to, like, bring up&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Uh, no, no, it&#8217;s OK. I&#8217;m sorry. I wish I would have waited.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s OK. We don&#8217;t have to talk about it. I&#8217;m just glad we get to be together now, in this moment.<\/p>\n<p>I agree. By the looks of things, I&#8217;d say I got here just in time tonight, huh?<\/p>\n<p>What do you mean?<\/p>\n<p>I just&#8211; I don&#8217;t know. When I first walked in on you and Doug, it just kind of seemed like he was about to make a move on you. <i>[tense music]<\/i> <i>&#8211; Your mom thought<\/i> <i>I stole Julie&#8217;s necklace?<\/i><\/p>\n<p>A lot of us did, actually.

Look, man, if it makes you feel better, and honestly, I hope it does, I don&#8217;t think that anymore. I&#8217;ve seen how you are with Julie, how much you care about her. And frankly, I really don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re capable of doing something like that to your family. Not back then, certainly not now.<\/p>\n<p>JJ, I should probably tell you&#8211; [phone ringing]<\/p>\n<p>Hold that thought. Hey.<\/p>\n<p>Hey yourself. I just got your flowers. I can&#8217;t believe you remembered that lilies are my favorite.<\/p>\n<p>Of course I remembered. And, hey, I&#8217;m so sorry. This is last minute. I just got off work, but would you want to go grab a drink somewhere?<\/p>\n<p>How about here?<\/p>\n<p>Your place?<\/p>\n<p>Well, I kind of have the place to myself, more or less. And I have a bottle of wine with your name on it.<\/p>\n<p>Well, then, how can I refuse? I&#8217;ll be right over.<\/p>\n<p>Great. I&#8217;ll see you in a bit then.

You and JJ enjoy your nice romantic Valentine&#8217;s evening alone. Besides, I have a very early start tomorrow.<\/p>\n<p>Well, in that case, I just wanted to say, you know, Rafe may be my brother, and I know you and I may not legally be related.

How awful of me not to realize that the very fabric of our legal framework ranked lower on the list than, uh, good eating.<\/p>\n<p>See, that&#8217;s the issue right there, pretending that this, all this, is about justice and community, when in reality, it&#8217;s all about you.<\/p>\n<p>I beg your pardon?<\/p>\n<p>EJ DiMera first, going all the way back to when you ran against me for mayor.<\/p>\n<p>Now who&#8217;s the one making it all about themselves?<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] You know, I have a&#8211; I have a very capable wife. But this is my home, too. And I will take great pleasure in tossing you out of it. Now go. <i>[soft dramatic music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Fine. But self-serving or not, Madam Mayor, you know I&#8217;m right about Belle. Happy Valentine&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>What the hell are you doing?<\/p>\n<p>Sorry, what&#8211; did I miss something here? I thought I was catching a vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Uh, not from me, you weren&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>OK, well, all right. I just thought, you know, since I&#8217;m newly single, you&#8217;re newly single.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Well, that just gives you the right to hit on me like that?<\/p>\n<p>All right, lady, take it easy.<\/p>\n<p>No, you know what? You listen to me. That will never, ever happen again. And you and I will keep things professional between us, both in the office and out of the office, forever. [scoffs] What is going on with him?<\/p>\n<p>You think Doug seemed like he was interested in me? [scoffs]<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. It&#8217;s just, like, the vibe he gives off, the way he looks at you, like&#8211; just telling you, Holly, I think he has a thing for you.<\/p>\n<p>I hope someone writes you a little inscription in a book like my grandfather did for Julie. &#8220;When I first saw you, that&#8217;s when I knew the truth. &#8220;You are the most beautiful, wonderful thing I&#8217;ve ever seen. And that&#8217;s all I ever need to know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wow. Talk about big feelings. That&#8217;s pretty romantic.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah, it is. And I feel the same way about you. <i>[tender music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>When you came over on Christmas Eve, the moment I saw you, I just&#8211; I don&#8217;t know how to describe it. My heart skipped a beat.<\/p>\n<p>I had no idea.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m such an idiot. I shouldn&#8217;t have said anything. You have a boyfriend. Can we just rewind five minutes and pretend that this never happened?<\/p>\n<p>Actually, I don&#8217;t think I can, because I feel the same way about you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Get a grip on it, Williams. She doesn&#8217;t feel that way about you. <i>[somber music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>See? Now you get to enjoy them, too. And not only do they look beautiful, mm, but they smell amazing, too.<\/p>\n<p>I smell something a little more. I&#8217;m gonna take a wild guess and say coconut.<\/p>\n<p>Good guess.<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>Yeah. It&#8217;s one of our new scents at Gabi Chic. We were testing them out in the office today.<\/p>\n<p>Well, if my vote counts, I&#8217;d definitely say it&#8217;s a winner. And listen, I&#8217;m&#8211; I&#8217;m sorry I haven&#8217;t been more in touch lately. I know we&#8217;ve both been really busy the past few weeks. But I, uh, don&#8217;t want you to get the wrong idea. It&#8217;s not a reflection of how I feel about you, about us. Not at all.<\/p>\n<p>And how do you feel about us?<\/p>\n<p>I feel very, very lucky to be here with you tonight.<\/p>\n<p>I feel lucky, too.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Mm.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I&#8217;m glad we got rid of our third wheel.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, don&#8217;t remind me. Oh, lord in heaven. [shudders] Ooh, I really do hate that EJ DiMera. [imitates choking]<\/p>\n<p>Do you think he had a point, though, about Belle?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, of course not. He was just trying to save his own privileged hide, exactly like you said. Although&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Although what?<\/p>\n<p>He really did seem kind of desperate this time, you know, to get the DA job back. I mean, if a man like EJ DiMera is fishing around for power over the prosecution, then it&#8217;s likely a sign that he&#8217;s been up to no good. Now, the question is, what did he do this time? <i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Well, I just hope that your mother can handle looking after both Ava and Rafe. But given their history, she doesn&#8217;t exactly inspire confidence, now, does she? [sighs] But we don&#8217;t really have much choice in the matter. Yes, you&#8217;re right. I agree. We need to come up with a long-term plan. Those two can&#8217;t stay locked up in your family&#8217;s summer home forever. [doorbell rings] I&#8217;ve got to go. We&#8217;ll talk more about this when you get back from work. [sighs] Belle. I wasn&#8217;t expecting to see you tonight.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, well, I thought you ought to know that your newfound friend Rafe has one hell of a nerve.<\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s not my friend.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, he is such a colossal jerk.<\/p>\n<p>Whoa, whoa, whoa. Calm down. Tell me what happened.<\/p>\n<p>OK. I was at Small Bar, trying to enjoy a drink, alone, when he came over and started badgering me with a bunch of talk about Jada and the mayor. And then he just, like&#8211; he leaned in, and without any warning, he just&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>What? Tell me.<\/p>\n<p>He made a pass at me. He kissed me.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m going to kill him. <i>[tense music]<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Oh, hey there, Jadacakes. Long time no see. What&#8217;s up?<\/p>\n<p>First of all, cut it out with the Jadacakes crap.<\/p>\n<p>Well, come on. What, you still angry about what happened yesterday?<\/p>\n<p>Second of all, FYI, I am all cleared out of your house. Any shred of evidence of our shared life together has either been moved out, torn up, or thrown out. It&#8217;s all yours now.<\/p>\n<p>All mine, huh? Huh. So where exactly are you moving?<\/p>\n<p>Not that it&#8217;s any of your business&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>Yeah?<\/p>\n<p>But Stephanie is letting me crash on her couch for a few days until I find a place of my own.<\/p>\n<p>All right. Well, you can have a new place right away if you play your cards right.<\/p>\n<p>What?<\/p>\n<p>I got a big comfy bed right inside. You&#8217;re more than welcome to share it.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>You know, whatever EJ is up to, I&#8217;m sure we&#8217;ll know soon enough.<\/p>\n<p>Mm. Yeah, well, he and the rest of the people in Salem can rest assured I will not be giving him that DA job back&#8211; no way, no how. Oh, I won&#8217;t be making that mistake again.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckle] Yeah, you know, sweetheart, I am, um&#8211; I&#8217;m sorry if I stepped on your toes when I told him off.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, are you kidding? My big bad husband standing up to big bad EJ DiMera? [both chuckle] Well, it&#8217;s the best Valentine&#8217;s Day gift a girl could ask for.<\/p>\n<p>Oh.<\/p>\n<p>My heart is still beating a mile a minute just thinking about it.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, well, maybe we should have a glass of wine just to calm you down.<\/p>\n<p>Mm-mm! Mm-mm, I don&#8217;t want to calm down. I would rather get fired up for my hot husband.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I do think that could be arranged. [chuckles]<\/p>\n<p>[grunts]<\/p>\n<p>Wait, wait, wait. Where are you going?<\/p>\n<p>You said Rafe was at Small Bar, right?<\/p>\n<p>OK, I don&#8217;t need you to rush off and fight my battles for me&#8211;I handled it.<\/p>\n<p>Look, I&#8217;m sorry, Belle, but I&#8217;m afraid you don&#8217;t understand&#8211;<\/p>\n<p>No, I understand just fine. And I think it&#8217;s very sweet that you want to stand up for me, but you don&#8217;t have to. Not in this instance, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>You think I&#8217;m sweet, do you?<\/p>\n<p>I suppose that&#8217;s what I said.<\/p>\n<p>[sighs] Well, I mean, you&#8217;re certainly right about one thing. I do want to stand up for you, but not because I don&#8217;t think you can handle yourself, but because I care about you, Belle.<\/p>\n<p>See? Sweet.<\/p>\n<p>[chuckles] I also don&#8217;t like the idea of someone else kissing you on Valentine&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, no? Who should it be, then?<\/p>\n<p>Oh, well, let me show you.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Are you serious right now? Did I not make myself clear last night when I threw my ring at you and slapped you across the face? Or do you need a reminder?<\/p>\n<p>Hey, I am just trying to help you out by giving you a place to stay, OK? You don&#8217;t have to be such a bitch about it.<\/p>\n<p>You know what? You are an even bigger ass than I realized. I am sorry I ever met you.<\/p>\n<p>[scoffs] Women. [scoffs]<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>So?<\/p>\n<p>So what were you thinking? We could, uh, order in, watch a movie, or, uh&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Do this? <i>[tender music]<\/i><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>I&#8217;m sorry. That was a stupid thing to bring up.<\/p>\n<p>No, it&#8217;s OK. It&#8217;s good we talk about these things. And for the record, Doug is just a friend, nothing more. So you don&#8217;t have anything to worry about, OK?<\/p>\n<p>OK. Then I won&#8217;t worry. All right. I have good news, and I also have bad news. The good news is, uh, we still have that delicious dessert that I bought for us. The bad news is if we want to eat it, we should probably grab it now before we have to catch the last ferry home.<\/p>\n<p>Whew, well, if that&#8217;s the case, I say let&#8217;s skip the dessert.
