"Do you remember the first Valentine's Day we spent together?"
"Ugh... don't remind me."
"It wasn't so bad."
"Which part wasn't so bad? The 'me crashing my car' part? The 'you trying to stuff me full of chocolate' part?
Or was it the 'me thinking I was in love with Ned' part?"
"I meant the 'me taking care of you and having you all to myself' part."
"Ah, well, no, that part wasn't [I]so[/I] bad."
"Yeah, you and your concussion... me trying to keep you awake. Ah, memories."
"You can stop being funny any time now."
"I'm not being funny. Actually, I was just thinking... it's too bad I didn't just kiss you instead of trying to
feed you chocolate."
"Kiss me?"
"To keep you awake... could have been interesting."
"At the time, it probably would have gotten you slapped in the face. I was convinced I was in love with someone
else, remember?"
"Yeah, but you were attracted to me."
"I was not."
"You were, too. I could tell."
"How could you tell?"
"You were always looking at me like you wondered what I looked like without my shirt on."
"I did not!"
"You did, too!"
"Jax, that is the most blatant, egotistical lie I have ever heard."
"Alexis, you totally wanted me... you were just too loyal to Ned to admit it."
"That's not true."
"It's not?"
"No."
"Oh, okay. So then why were you all over me in the Sahara?"
"I was not!"
"You were, too. I was totally faking being asleep, you know?"
"What?"
"When you were running your hands up and down my arms... checking out my muscles... I wasn't really asleep."
"God, I was not checking out your muscles. I was... you were working on the radio. I was just... it was a massage,
it wasn't... oh, shut up!"
"Ha! See, I knew it. You're blushing... you so wanted me."
"You know what? It's time for me to get out of this bed!"
"Oh, no, Mrs. Jacks... there will be no getting out of the bed."
"Then stop being a horse's rear."
"I'm just teasing you."
"Yeah? Well, keep it up, and I'm going to remind you about that habit you had during our not real marriage."
"What habit?"
"The 'oops, I didn't know you were in the shower, Alexis,' habit."
"Oh, there was no 'oops' about that... every last time I walked in on you... that was on purpose."
"I knew that."
"You did?"
"Why do you think I never locked the door?"
"We really should have just given in, you know? It would have saved us both a lot of heartache."
"Maybe. But I don't know. If all that got me here... you, Kristina, a beautiful Valentine's Day in the Alaskan
wilderness... I'd say it was all worth it."
"I second that. Now, why don't you go climb in the shower so I can walk in on you?"
