Daniel feigned surprise as he turned to look behind him, then acted abashed when he brought the bundle forward.
"What? This? Well, funny you should ask. See, I was doing some reading on holidays, since there seem to be so many, and seeing as one just past, I was reading up on it. And it's traditions. And uh, though, uh, heh, we happened after the fact, I figured we we're still close enough. So..."
Daniel stepped back a pace and held the bundle forward. As he did, he used his free hand to pluck the silk covering aside to drape his arm, and revealed a large bouquet of alstroemeria. He smiled and tilted his head to one side to look around the flowers at Jessi.
"I know they aren't exactly traditional, but it seems over the last week or so, most the roses in the state have been sold off. So I found these. They're much more seasonal anyways, and I think the colors are much more, well...you, I suppose."

Jessi grinned at Daniel's enthusiasm over whatever was behind his back. She had to let go of his hand so that he could remove the drape, and when he revealed the flowers from under the silk drape, she gasped and her eyes went very wide.
"Oh Daniel!... They're so, SO beautiful! So many different colors, and the blooms are so big! I'm glad you got these instead of roses. Tradition can be boring in my opinion. Not all traditions, but many of them are, I think. This is so much better! Is it Valentine's Day you're talking about, though, Daniel? Is that the holiday?"
She carefully took the flowers from him. She'd have to get a vase from a drawer under her desk to put the flowers in. She had quite a few in one of the drawers because individuals would bring flowers by quite frequently for different reasons. Jessi found that it was convenient to have a few vases in the drawer below her desk.
Before she got it out, though, Jessi stood up and slowly hugged Daniel. She rested her cheek in the crook of his neck and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Thank you so much, Daniel. And they smell wonderful."
After a few minutes, yes minutes, of hugging Daniel, she finally pulled back with a sigh and smiled at him. Then, she quickly bent over, opened one of her drawers, and pulled out a dark canvas shoulder bag that she had carried in today.
She handed the bag to Daniel and grinned brightly. "I got you something, too, though since I already gave you a Valentine's Day gift last Monday, I just wanted to give you something to celebrate what happened last week between the two of us."
As soon as Daniel had a hold of the bag, she flipped the cover over to reveal a bag full of chocolate pudding cups!
Jessi's grin grew even more. "I know how much you like them, so I got a bunch for you! You can also keep the bag. Amy made it for me, but she also made me several other kinds of every possible color to go with any outfit I might have. I don't have anything in that dark canvas color, so I thought it might work better for you!"

Jessi looked at the poster she was working on and shrugged after a moment. "You know, I'm not entirely sure. I think she'll sell a variety of potions, but I think her main focus would be to help the body both in health and relaxation. After all, AS has a lot of hot tubs, healthy food, and physical activities, so the potions would probably be to help heal and promote wellness. I think, if that's the case, it would work really well here for both ends! Liada would get more business and so would Aqua Springs. Plus, our customers would be happier with things that make them feel better."
She picked up the bottle of glue in front of her, but as she did so, she made sure to brush her hand against Daniel's. When she brought it back to her, she made sure to brush his hand once more. She glanced over at him, smiled, and then looked back at the poster.
"Okay, you'll probably have to get relatively close to me to follow the glue trails. The glue will dry quickly and you'll need to be almost right on top of the glue trails. Ready?"
Her heart was beating just a little faster at the thought of Daniel getting closer to her.
