A happy Valentine’s Day to all of you who are celebrating with spouses, partners, significant others, metamours, paramours, lovers, friends with benefits, playmates, platonic loves, or any other applicable person, persons, or combinations of the above.
And for those of you who for whatever reason don’t celebrate this day, I hope you have a good day as well, and survive the onslaught of shmoopyness throughout the day!
