In a fancy bathroom of a fancier restaurant, a man in a flashy red suite, red fedora, and a gold bow and arrow lapel pin with a heart shaped arrowhead stands at a urinal. Suddenly another man walks in. Wearing a black pinstripe suit. He goes to the sink, turns it on and splashes water over his face. As he leans on the counter, breathing heavily, sink still running. The red suit man says, “bad date?”
The other man looks over and says “ya. Well no. Not really a bad one. Just, not the right one. You know?” The man in the red suit finishes at the urinal and walks over to the sink next to the other man saying “oh ya, I get it.” As he begins washing his hands and continues “so, tell me, who is the right one?” The other man, looking confused but feeling surprisingly comfortable opening up the red suited stranger responds, “I, I don’t really know.” The man in red grabs some paper towels as he begins drying his hands and speaking “sure you do. After all how would you know you’re on the wrong date if you didn’t know there was a right one? So, who are they?” The other man still standing above the running sink, begins to open up, “his name is Jacob. God he is a beautiful, wonderful man. And he told me he is in love with me. And I, I, I told him to get bent. Even though, I think, I’m in love with him too. But like I can’t be. No, it wouldn’t be right. So I went out with this girl, Lacy and she’s really nice, and I mean she is someone I could bring home to my parents. So it could work, maybe, even though it doesn’t feel right, and Jacob hasn’t left my mind.” He almost begins to cry as he feels a hand on his shoulder. He looks over to see the man in red, smiling saying “with matters of the heart, you gotta follow the heart. and I can hear your heart screaming, go to him.” The other man tearing up, says with a whimper “I, I can’t. He opened his heart to me and I closed mine to him. And besides, Lacy is a very nice girl, one my family would approve of.” “Is this their life or yours? And don’t worry Lacy will be fine. Believe me she would rather be with someone who actually wants to be with her, just as much as you want to be with Jacob.” The man in red says with a comforting smile. As the other man stands staring down at the water gushing from the sink, tears almost bursting from his eyes, as he says “I, I know! I know you’re right. I just, I don’t know what to do. God what do I do?” The man in red grabs his lapel pin with his hand, and pokes the shoulder of the other man with the heart shaped arrow head, while whispering “go back out there and tell Lacy that she is a very nice girl, and that you are glad you met her. Then, be honest with her, like you were with me. Tell her someone else has been on your mind the whole night. And that you have to follow your heart. Then apologize for wasting her time. Wish her the best. And then.” The man in red leans closer as he finishes “then go to him.” As he removes his lapel pin from the man's shoulder, puts it back on his jacket. As the other stands up straight and tall, turns off the sink and says with a level of determination he has never felt before “you’re right, I owe that to myself, I owe that to Lacy, and I owe that to Jacob. Thank you! Thank you so much!” As he finally turns off the sink and runs out of the bathroom.” The man in red says with a smile “you are very welcome”-
“Ted” the other man turns around to say, “and you are?”
The man in red tips his fedora, winks, smirks and responds “Cupid!”
Ted begins to run out of the bathroom, before realizing who he just met, turns back around for a second, only to see the door on the other side swinging and the man in red gone. Ted stands there for a moment, puzzled and surprised, before smiling whispering “thanks Cupid” as he continues out the door. Cupid stands outside, watching Ted open up to Lacy. He tells her “Lacy I am so sorry. You are such a great person, but, well the truth is, there is someone else, and I have to go to him. Again I am so sorry. You are a great person, and I am so happy I met you. And you deserve nothing but the best, and I hope you find it. Unfortunately it isn’t me though. Again I apologize for wasting your time and hope you can forgive me.”
Lacy smiles, stands up, gives Ted a hug and says “no need. While I can’t say I’m not disappointed. I really appreciate your honesty, and I kinda suspected. So thank you. Now go to him.”
Ted smiles, as he runs out of the restaurant saying “thank you Lacy.”
Lacy waves and yells “GOOD LUCK” with a smile. Cupid smiles as he watches Ted run out the restaurant door, feet splashing in the puddles on the sidewalk. Behind him he notices two young men talking to each other angrily. “Dawg, we’ve known each other since high school. We used to hang out everyday, after school. But now, it’s like you don’t even care.”
“Oh c’mon Tim, you know things change. I have a wife now. I don’t have the time I used to have.” The other says.
“Oh don’t gimme that shit James. I know things change. But every time we make plans, you just bail, like you don’t even lemme know. I thought you were really excited to go see that new Tron movie but you never even showed up.” Tim replied.
James just kinda rolls his eyes and says “god man I was excited. But I had to take the wife shopping. Plus you saw the movie anyway, said it was good.”
“That’s not the point man. It was good, but I wanted to see it with you. My friend, but my friend didn’t even text me to say something came up.” Tim replies.
James rolls his eyes as he mocks his friend “muh fwend didn’t eben call mee” making fake crying sounds before laughing and saying “God dude quit acting like a bitch.” Tim is hurt by this. As he stands there, lip quivering, eyes watering. As James’s laughing smile becomes a regretful frown. But then a laughing smile again as he mocks his friend some more “oh now you're gonna cry. Like a bitch baby. God dude I’m sorry I don’t wanna be your lover ok, Jesus.” After another moment before Tim fully breaks down he runs away, face in hands. James stands there, frowning a little bit, as he forces a laugh to counteract his sadness, saying in a forced comedic voice underlined with sadness “good riddance” as he turns around, wipes a small tear from his eye, sniffles, and keeps walking. Cupid watches this scene, full frown, wondering, what did I just see? And why didn’t I stop it?
As Cupid shuffles down the sidewalk. Face staring at his feet. Replaying the scene between Tim and James over and over in his mind. Thinking what was that? Should I have done something? Could I have done something? He peers through the window of a coffee shop seeing a man and woman sitting across from each other, gazing into each other's eyes, holding hands as they share a milkshake. Cupid smiles, feeling happy. Before hearing a woman walk by him screaming into her phone “look Jackie if you don’t wanna be friends anymore why don’t you just say it?” Cupid follows her with his eyes hearing her continue “Because I am so sick of your shit. Always making up excuses, you-” she stops, then frowns, but only for a moment before glaring and yelling “WELL FINE THEN!” As she violently hangs up. Visibly disturbed by this, he looks back at the happy couple in the coffee shop. Now seeing the man’s texts that reads Hey man, it’s been awhile, wanna grab coffee? The man just clicks mark as read and smiles at his girlfriend responding to a text reading How long has it been since we’ve had a girls night??? What are you doin this weekend??? with a simple Can’t, sorry. Before smiling at her man again. Cupid thinks oh god. What is happening? How long has it been happening? When did this start? Or. His next thought filled him with dread. Has it always been happening and I just didn’t notice? Cupid, for the first time in millennia, nearly breaks, as he runs home.
Walking down the street again walking and looking for friendships on the rocks. Soon he sees and overhears two men bickering. “Dude, do you even wanna hang out?”
One man asks the other.
The other responds, with a shrug “ya, I mean, I don’t know, whatever.”
The first man reiterates in an irritated voice “you don’t know? Whatever?” He makes an irritated laugh, and continues “well ok man whatever then. I’m just gonna go.” The other man shrugs, as the first man walks away. Cupid takes his bow and arrow lapel pin from his jacket as approaches the shrugging man. He pokes the arrowhead tip into the man's shoulder and whispers to him “call to your friend, tell him you love him, give him a hug.” Cupid stands silently smiling and confident. When suddenly the man turns to him yelling “WHAT? I’m not gay.” Cupid’s smile becomes a fearful and confused frown as he says “I, I never said you were, I” - The man then shoves him saying “who the fuck even are you? And what the fuck is wrong with you?” Cupid, still surprised, becoming slightly angry wonders “what’s wrong with me? What’s wrong with you? I’m just tryi”- The man reaches to push Cupid again as Cupid waves his hand. The man is still as Cupid looking sad and defeated shuffles off, eyes on shoes.
As he shuffles down the street, he wonders what went wrong? He shrugs and thinks I need a larger sample, maybe cross sex. And right as he looks up he sees his chance. A woman is saying to her friend “c’mon I’m your maid of honor, it’s my duty to throw you a bachelorette party.” Her friend responds “ya, I know Tina and I appreciate it. But I just don’t think my husband would like it.”
“Oh c’mon Beth, I promise I won’t have any strippers or anything. Just a fun low key girls night. Huh? What do you say?” Tina insists with a smile
Beth smiles slightly and says “it does sound fun, and I would love too. But again I just don’t think Wendel would approve.”
“I don’t see why he would mind? Isn’t he having a Bachelor's party? Did you even ask him?” Tina wonders.
“Ya, but, that, that’s different. And no I don’t want to bring it up. I don’t want to cause any trouble” Beth replies.
Tina shrugs and says “ok, I don’t really see how. But ok, what if we just watch a movie or something? Just the two of us?”
Beth shakes her head “I’m sorry I would love to. But I should just make sure everything is ready for the wedding. It has to take priority, you know?”
Tina frowns and looks down as she mumbles “ya, ya, no, I get it.” As she shuffles away. Cupid tries the same trick, the only trick he knows. He approaches Beth, lightly pokes her shoulder and whispers “why don’t you go? Have a party? You said yourself you want to. And I’m sure”- The woman interrupts “um, excuse me? Why don’t you mind your business?”
Cupid, puzzled once again, says with a confident smirk “love is my business.”
Beth, looking confused says “ah, ok, creep, well I already have that, I'm getting married as you heard. So you can just go now ok.”
Cupid responds “I know, and congratulations. But that is not the kinda love I mean. I mean the love you and Tina have. You said yourself you want to have that bachelorette party, so go, have fun, you deserve it” with a smile.”
“The woman now becoming angry screams “this isn’t about what I want. It’s about Wendel, and he is who I deserve, so why don’t you just get bent creep.” As she storms off. Cupid stands there, looking defeated as he tries to say, “but I, I,” He takes a deep breath and screams in agony “I DON’T WANT YOU TO LOSE HER!” Before falling to his knees and crying for the first time in a millennium. As he bawls his eyes out the woman looks back, concerned. She then takes out her phone and hovers her finger over Tina in her contacts for a moment. Before shrugging, pushing the side button, putting her phone in her bag and continuing to walk.
The man in the car looks to be wrapping his brain to find a name as he just says, “ya of course, it has been awhile, how you doin?”
“Doin good man, just here to get my kid. How bout you?” The other says.
“Ya, ya, me too. Wow your kid goes here too? Small world” the man in the car responds.
The other says “ya, ya we should get together sometime.”
“Oh ya for sure” The man said, still holding his phone in his car.
“Ya, ya, we’ll make a plan sometime. Anyway I should go get my kid, good to see you” the other man said as he walked away.” The one in car called “ya, you too, have a good one” before going back to ignoring texts. Cupid thinks how are they gonna make plans, if they didn’t exchange numbers? Then he realizes it was just more mundane niceties. People saying make plans, as just an introduction. This makes his smile completely fade as he realizes, kids get it, Teenagers begin to lose it. And by the time they reach adulthood, they are too far gone. Finally feeling defeated he just keeps walking, still staring at his shoes.
Back at the park, where he can feel some joy. He smiles as he sees the kids running and playing, exchanging candy and smiles. Sharing candy and toys. No name calling, no excuse for gift giving, just loving freely. Free from expectation and shame. After a moment it hits him. He thinks kids are free from expectation and shame. As they grow up they are expected to feel shame for emotional expression. Kids don’t have expectations. Maybe adults need it. Then, well then all I have to do is change that expectation from shame to love. YES! I got it! As he runs off more full of determination. He stops by every shop he passes and pretty much buys them out of candy and greeting cards. He dips the heart shaped arrowhead of his lapel pin into some ink and uses it to write notes. Then he puts candy in the cards. As he puts them in mailboxes that he passes. Ding dong ditching a few apartments, leaving candy filled cards on the doormat. He enters a few gyms placing them in locker after locker. He even slips them into some pockets and cars. Having so much fun filling the city with candy, and an expectation of love. Convinced this will work.
After he finishes, he watches many people open their cards and read For a friend! From someone who cares about you! Maybe call an old friend this Valentine's Day. He smiles with many of the people. As they shed a small tear before reaching into their pocket, pulling out their phones and making calls. They all go something like this, “hey man, it’s been a while”
“Ya, funny I was just about to call you. Wanna go catch a flick or something?”
“Ya for sure.” And this time, this time they do. He follows many to the theater. Sitting on a bench people watching as he feeds birds and sees shocked theater staff. Busier than they have been in a long time. He sees people go in to see a movie. Then come out and agree to see another. Or go get a bite or drink or something. Watching old friends catch up, reminisce and laugh, brings a smile to his face, and a slight tear to his eye. He thinks I have succeeded. But then he overhears a call. A man's phone rings and he looks at it and says to his friends “oh it’s the wife, I gotta take this.” As he walks to the side answering “hello.” followed by a “babe I'm with my friends, we can have dinner tomorrow." Then “well just cancel the reservation. I haven’t been able to hang out with my friends in a while. God, can’t you just be happy for me and quit nagging.” He then hangs up, turns back to his friends and says “sorry the wife” rolls his eyes and continues “just yack, yack, yack” making talking motions with his hands as he and his buddies laugh. This begins to disturb Cupid. But thinks ok, that’s just one jackass though, it’s not like.- Before he hears phone after phone ringing and overhears almost the same conversation over and over again, as he begins being filled with more and more dread. He approaches a few people, lapel pin in hand. But then stops and thinks no, I can’t just cause the same problem I just solved. But did I just cause another?
He runs off. And hears couples arguing all over the city. Men saying “babe I just need some guy time, god.” women saying, “I just need some girl time.” Partners responded, near tears “I know and I want that for you, really I do, but we made these reservations weeks ago, can’t you reschedule?” The others responded “maybe we can reschedule. I can’t just bail on my boys, bros before hoes.” Partners nearly in tears run off. Nobody follows.
Cupid wanders aimlessly as he wonders what went wrong? He thinks, god did I just replace one problem for another? Courtship or friendship? Friendship or courtship? Is this like a trade off that has to be made? Like love is some kinda zero sum game. Oh god, is love a zero sum game? These thoughts continue, filling him more and more with dread, despair and hopelessness. He passes by people clicking mark as read to their significant other’s texts, then calling “coming” to their friends. Finally feeling defeated he walks into a coffee shop. Sits at the counter and asks, “can I get a latte, and one a those scones?” The barista nods. As he waits for his stuff he hears someone call to him “Cupid? Cupid is that you?” As he turns around to see Ted smiling, as he walks towards him saying to a lady behind him “Lacy, this is the guy I told you about. Remember? The guy who gave me the confidence to go to Jacob.” Lacy gets up smiling as she says “oh right. Cupid, nice to meet you.” with a smile and a laugh. Cupid sits, puzzled for a moment thinking, then saying “ya, you too. I must say I’m surprised to see you two on a date.” Ted and Lacy laugh as Ted says “no were not dating, I’m engaged to Jacob, see” as he shows Cupid his ring and continues “and Lacy she met this great dude. Very handy. He’s helping me and Jacob get our apartment fixed up. We’re gonna meet them later for a double date. Just figured we’d get some coffee while we wait.”
Cupid says still a bit confused and asks “wait, so you two are just friends?” Ted and Lacy nod, as Cupid continues “and you both have a boyfriend but still make time for each other?”
“Of course,” Ted said, “I love this girl. She helped me come out to my parents. God I was so scared. I don’t think I could have done it without her.”
Lacy laughs saying “don’t sell yourself short. You didn’t need me. I was just there, you’re the one who had the courage to actually do it.”
“But you’re the reason I felt safe doing it. Don’t sell yourself short” Ted responded. As they both smiled and laughed. Before Ted said again “and you man, you are the reason I could even see it myself. God I can’t believe it. The two people who helped me the most. God this is great.” Ted stands smiling as Cupid sits contemplating. Saying “this is, this is, THIS IS WONDERFUL!” As he smiles big and bright, gets up shakes their hands saying, “how the hell are you?” They all laugh.
After a while of laughing and telling stories, Jacob walks in and comes to the table. Ted gets up and says “oh hey babe” as they kiss. Ted then continues “oh where are my manners. Jacob, remember I told you about that strange guy who gave me the confidence to come see you that night?”
Jacob nods saying “ya, Cupid right?” With a laugh.”
Ted replies “ya, well this is him.” As he waves his arm towards Cupid, who stands up and puts his hand out.
Jacob looks at him for a moment, before smiling, wrapping his arms around Cupid saying “wow dude. I owe you my life.” Cupid is surprised by this. As he smiles and hugs Jacob back, laughing and saying “no, no, I’m just happy you both get to be happy with each other.”
Right then another man walks in and Lacy screams “JOSH. This is Cupid.” As she runs towards him and pulls him over to Cupid. Josh shakes Cupid’s hand and says “wow, so you're why we’re all so happy” as he pulls him into another hug whispering sincerely “thanks man.”
As Josh, Lacy, Jacob, and Ted get ready to head to dinner. Cupid says “goodbye.” With a smile, as they head out the door Cupid’s frown returns. Wondering how can this work? How can he make it work for everyone?” Jacob turns back, seeing Cupid’s frown and says “hey man, why don’t you join us?”
Cupid looks up surprised as he says “huh? Oh no I couldn’t intrude.”
“Intrude? Nonsense, you’re the reason this is even happening.” Jacob responds.
The rest of the group starts smiling saying “ya, c’mon, it’s on us.” As they motion him to follow. Cupid slowly begins smiling again as he gets up and follows the group out the door, as they cheer.
The rest of the group all clink glasses saying “to Cupid salute.” After the dinner they all go back to Josh’s apartment. A large dimly lit loft, with a large balcony overlooking the city. They drink wine, laugh, dance, and play games. After awhile Cupid steps out on the balcony. As he stands and breaths the crisp cool air, he looks over the city, wondering how can it be like this for everyone. Behind him he hears the door slide open, looks and sees Ted closing the door behind him. Cupid’s eyes revert back to the city as Ted stands next to him and lights a cigar. He then holds it towards Cupid asking “you want a hit? It’s a Cohiba shh.” Cupid laughs as he takes the cigar, inhales the smoke, as Ted, looking out at the city says “man what a view huh?”
Cupid says “ya, it really is beautiful.” With a sad look in his eyes.
Ted picks up on this and asks “you alright man?”
Cupid nods as he puffs the cigar again saying “ya. I just. I don’t know. What you guys have, all of you, it’s great. I just, how’d you do it?”
Ted looks confused as he asks “do what?”
Cupid says “have it all? Like courtships, friendships, all together, all happy.”
Ted still looking confused says “I mean, I don’t know man. We all just enjoy each other's company. Help each other out. Like I told you Lacy helped me come out, Josh is helping me and Jacob remodel our apartment, clearly, he knows what he’s doing.” As they both laugh and Ted continues. “But ya, we just all love each other man.”
Cupid says “ya, I mean I see that and it’s great I just, like courtships and friendships, you didn’t trade one for the other?”
Ted shakes his head saying “of course not. Why would we want to do that?”
Cupid replies “no, I mean you wouldn’t. I just, I don’t know sometimes it seems like you have to.”
Ted shakes his head and says “nah, love is a lot of things man, but a zero sum game it is not. Like you think I just have some set amount of love I can give out? Nah, like I said we all love each other, and that builds on each others, almost exponentially.”
Cupid nods and smiles saying “that’s a beautiful thought.”
Ted responds, shaking his head “nah man, that’s the true nature of love. You oughta know that, being Cupid and all” as he playfully pushes his shoulder and laughs. Causing Cupid to laugh as well. Suddenly the door slides open and a drunk Josh yells “TWISTER WHO’S IN? C’MON!” Cupid and Ted look at each other, laugh and say ok. As they head inside to play Twister.
As they play, hands and legs folded all over each other touching different colors. One by one they all fall, all except Cupid, arms twisted, and legs nearly overhead. Ted spins and calls “right leg red.” Lacy attempts to twist her already twisted legs one more time. It is one time too many. As she falls, Cupid twists and stretches with ease, as they all scream “WHOA” and laugh. Cupid smiles as he untwists just as easily, shakes Lacy’s hand saying “good game.”
Lacy shakes his hand and says “ya. How the hell did you do that?”
Cupid smiles and says, “millennia of practice.” As they all laugh.
Lacy rolls her eyes and says with a laugh “oh ya I forgot” as they all laughed some more.
Sitting on the couch watching romcoms. Josh holding a sleepy Lacy. Jacob holding a sleepy Ted. As the movie approaches its end Cupid gets up and says “ok well I should go.” They all get up. Lacy gives Cupid a hug and says “thanks for coming. It was fun, oh and Happy Valentine's Day.” Cupid smiles as he hugs the rest of the gang saying, “Happy Valentine's Day.” As Cupid walks to the door Josh hollers and says, “hey wait, I wanted to ask you, Cupid, why do you wear red?”
Cupid smiles and says, “you know I’ve been asked that a lot over the millennia, and in all that time I think Garth Brooks put it best.” They all look confused and intrigued as he continues, singing with a smile, “oh the blues will be blue and then jealousy’s green, but when love picks its shade, IT DEMANDS TO BE SEEN!”
They all laugh, smile and nod saying, “fair enough.” Cupid tips his hat to the group saying, "Happy Valentine's Day and good night.”
They all wave saying, “good night and Happy Valentine's Day Cupid.” As he heads out the door.
Jacob turns to Ted saying, “oh shit we forgot to invite him to our wedding.”
Ted gets up and runs after him yelling Cupid, Cupid.”
In the hall Cupid turns around and says “ya?”
As Ted catches up to him and said ‘me and Jacob wanted to invite you to our wedding. It is next month. We can send you an invitation if you give me-”
Cupid interrupts reaching into his pocket and handing him a card saying, “I wouldn’t miss it.”
Ted gives Cupid a hug almost tearing up and says “thanks man for everything. Happy Valentine's Day!”
Cupid says “no thanks needed, I’m happy that y’all are happy. That’s all I want. That's all I’ve ever wanted. Happy Valentine Day Ted.” Ted watches him walk away, crying a little bit.
At his yacht, sitting on his bed, writing what he has learned in his notebook as a Arctic documentary plays in the background. He thinks, ok so I get it now. This all makes sense as he reads over his writings. But I still don't know what to do. There is something I’m missing. Something everyone seems to be missing. But what? What is it? Becoming annoyed as he puts his hands on his face and falls backward on his bed. He hears a linguistic historian on the TV saying, “you see many Native Arctic tribes have multiple words for snow. Because as we all know on some level there are multiple types of snow. Some almost feel like ice crystals in your hands, were as others are soft and powdery, and on and on. Now for us this isn’t super important. It really only matters if you want to make a snow man or something. But our day-to-day life doesn’t depend on understanding all the different types of snow. However, for these Native Arctic tribes it is. See this is how they live. They build their homes with it, they fish in it, they interact with it every day. So, their life in a very real sense kind of depend on understanding all of these differences. As a result, they have twenty, forty, some even up to one hundred words for snow.” At this moment a light not only goes off in Cupid's head, but nearly explodes, as he sits up and says to himself “of course! There are so many types of love, but to describe them all we only have the one word, and this causes confusion, which leads to discomfort, which leads to shame. Even though our life in a very real sense depends on understanding these differences. Our language only has one way to express them all. How did I not see this? How did nobody see this?” He shrugs and says “regardless. I must show them.” As he looks up at his glass case. He hesitantly stands up on his bed, opens the case and removes what he hasn’t used since the dark ages, the large golden bow and arrow. He then runs, bow and arrow in hand.
He stands on top of the highest building in the city. Watching people love and argue below. He takes a deep breath, says “here goes nothin. God, I hope this works." As he aims the arrow towards the sky, pulls back, and releases. The arrow flies high, out of sight. As the red heart arrowhead explodes as pink sparks fall to the earth. A message in each one. As they hit the ground. People begin hearing it in their heads, as they all stop to listen, as if all having the same thought at once. “You see as kids, we celebrate love on Valentine's day, not just romance, but all love, for our friends, our family. Almost oblivious to romance. Then as we grow up, we begin to learn of romance, feel romantic desire. Which is great, but in that sometimes we forget all those other forms of love we knew as kids. And the bits we remember, we are scared to express. Scared of causing confusion or discomfort. Saying I love you only to our significant other. Seemingly lacking the word for how we feel about our friends. And ya we do. Native Arctic tribes have up to hundreds of words for snow. To describe all of its forms. So crucial for their lives. What a shame then. That something like love, existing in arguably more forms, being arguably more important to all of our lives, yet we have only one word. So what do we do? We can’t just make a new word they will come or they won’t. But for now. This Valentine's Day, go out with your significant other, give them gifts, celebrate your romantic love. But then, maybe also, this Valentines Day, call an old friend, give them a chocolate bunny, or a heart candy. Give them a hug, tell them you love them. Double date if you can. Just have a good time celebrating love in all its lovely forms.”
Beth's finger hovering over Tina's name again, only this time she clicks it and says “hey Tina let’s have that girl's night. If you still want to? And Happy Valentine's Day.” Jackie calls her friend, apologizes for the excuses and says, “Happy Valentine's Day.”
The man who shoved Cupid runs up to his friend and gives him a big hug saying "I love you man. Happy Valentine's Day.” The football playing teenagers thank their teammate for the candy saying, "Happy Valentine's Day" to each other.” As the parents actually exchange addresses and smiles saying, “Happy Valentine's Day.” As the kids in the park celebrate as they always have. The way everyone is starting to. Celebrating LOVE IN ALL ITS LOVELY FORMS!
THE END!
