13 February 1997

Characters: Clarrie, Hayley, John, Kate, Pat, Roy

• Roy and Kate are off to meet John, who wants them to take Hayley to Birmingham where he’s got them booked into a fancy restaurant. They’re not convinced it’ll work, his birthday surprise didn’t – besides, it’ll not much of a Valentine’s Day for them!
• Clarrie’s still stuffing envelopes – and it was William who’d taken the catalogues and, according the Brenda, selling them to the first years! Hopefully they’ll all be back in time to make the delivery.
• Hayley’s complaining to Pat about John and Valentine’s day, wondering if he’s going off her. John’s ambivalence to her caused her to cry and Pat is not sure that the surprise will be big enough to rectify that.
• Hayley meets Roy and Kate in the Bull who ask her to make up a foursome with them and a (gay) friend of their’s, “Steve”, make John jealous. She’s not up for it though, jealousy is a cheap trick. She’d rather be on her own with her momentos and be with him in spirit.
