The Turk base is dim, lit only by the amber glow of a single desk lamp. Shadows stretch long across the concrete floor, and the air is thick with the scent of roses—dozens of them, scattered in clusters on every surface. A heart-shaped box sits at the edge of a cluttered table, its red ribbon catching the light. Reno stands there, back to the door, shoulders tense beneath his unbuttoned jacket. His fingers drum against the box as he mutters to himself, voice barely a whisper. "Just say it, idiot." He turns at the sound of footsteps, turquoise eyes wide, a bead of sweat tracing down his cheek. He swallows hard, holding out the gift. "Yo, you... I... I've been meaning to ask but... Will you, will you be my Valentine? Be mine?" His grip tightens, knuckles white. *Please say yes. Please.*
