“Yes, it is the middle of January,” he agreed with an eager nod, stuffing papers back into the folder before the wind could carry them away, “but soon it’ll be the end of January, then the start of February, then it will be Valentines–” Mason had to pause and do exactly what she said. Breathe. He got ahead of himself, and he knew he got ahead of himself, but it was better than getting behind. “No, no,” he assured her, only to pause. “Well, yes. But I’ll sort them out in the office. Thank you, very much.” 

"I know how to use a calendar,” she replied dryly, looking at him with a blank stare. He seemed to be far too frantic for his own good; definitely not a characteristic that someone who was supposed to be a leader should show, she thought. “Do you have an assistant? If not, have you ever thought about getting one?” Angelique had been thinking about having her own for a while, but it didn’t seem to be at the top of Adam’s priorities. In fact, he probably needed one more than she did, with how much he had to handle.

Gabriel sat beside her, a menu and a list of options laid out in front of him. Angelique always had a knack for making sure everything was organized, which doesn’t leave him much room for surprises. Still, at least he knew what to expect and when to expect it. “These are all doable. Of course, the desserts, however…” Lumiere paused to reflect, calculating the amount of skill and time required to prepare the delicacies based on his previous experience. Of course, the desserts would be something of importance for such a sweet holiday, but he was planning on a late night dinner for the two, and anything beyond intricate wasn’t something he had the luxury of time doing. “I can do the cakes, remember the chocolate and caramel that you like?” He looked at her, smiling, as he waited for her to remember. Gabriel always had Angelique be the first to try his new recipes, given that she was honest and quite refined in her taste for food as well. “As for the cupcakes or the likes, let’s ask the bakery for that.” He also had to plan for Valentine’s Day, and though Angelique was the planner, a man’s got to try.

“How busy will you be for Valentines? Anyone taking you out soon?” He casually asked, checking to see if the waters were clear. Sure, it was too early to ask, but a woman with the looks of Angelique, he knew someone was definitely out to kick him off of his position. “A man getting married this time again? Have you thought about taking a break?” Gabriel leaned behind, placing his hand on her chair behind her shoulders.

Angelique liked a man who could admit when he needed help, which was precisely the reason she was here in the first place. Businessmen had no business planning things like this, that required a delicate eye for taste and style. She had figured that Gabriel would need assistance on the dessert front, though she had taken a liking to one of the cakes he’d made her before, which he clearly hadn’t forgotten about. She didn’t really love sharing, but if he could knock out that kind of cake he’d once made for her, the restaurant would be in good shape. “Oh, that one was perfection. We could do the cakes, and I’ll ask the bakery for red velvet. Tres romantique, no? I can contact the florist to put roses at every table, too.”

With a slight raise in her brow, Angelique gave him a slight smile. “No one yet,” she confirmed. Was this his way of asking her to spend the night with him? With the two of them, it was always hard to tell. “I wouldn’t be surprised if a last-minute wedding comes up, no. Men like to wait until the last minute to know what they really want.” It was a well-laid hint that she hoped he would catch onto. “A break? Cherie, you’re too funny. Do you know what time of the year it is? February rolls straight into wedding season. You’re going to be busy catering, too, you know.”

So much to do, so much to do. From one holiday to the next. One would think Mason’s stress levels had decreased since the planning of Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, but here he was, already fretting over Valentines Day. Did he order enough hearts to hang around the street lamps? Would anyone sign up to the matchmaking services? What was he forgetting? If he hadn’t been paying more attention to his notes than what was in front of him, he would have been able to avoid the collision that knocked the folder and all of its belongings to the ground. “Pardon me, so sorry,” he commented, not even glancing up to see who he’d just bumped into as he started collecting the papers. “Such a busy time of the year…” Was there a time of the year that wasn’t?

Angelique was partially convinced that the mayor had no idea what he was doing. From what she learned in her planning business, anything with a lovely facade was enough to impress people. He seemed to take things far too seriously than he needed to. “Pardon moi, monsieur, but it’s the middle of January.” She looked at him quizzically, as though she were trying to figure out what on earth could be stressing him out so much during what should have been the offseason. “You need to take a breath. Respire,” she instructed, bending down to help him pick up the papers he’d dropped. “I hope these weren’t supposed to be in any particular order.”

“Cherie, do you think we could go over the options for Valentine’s Day?” Maybe it was a little early to be asking such a thing, but Angelique liked to get a head start on anything she did. There was supposed to be a special menu for the weekend, in hopes that people would be celebrating for more than just one day. It was the way a woman deserved, she’d told Adam. While there weren’t as many weddings happening as she could remember in the past, there was always the possibility that some unprepared man would show up and beg her to plan something. It was stressful, but the last minute events still gave her a thrill. “I don’t want it to get too busy around here before dinnertime. You’re quite popular,” she cooed, giving him a smile. Though she knew that he would be busy around the holiday, all she could hope was that Gabriel would spare some time for her. It seemed reasonable, given how much time they’d been spending together. “Oh, and dessert. Do you think we should ask the bakery, or can you handle it?”

After staying late at the bookstore to finish sorting some new arrivals Belle’s first stop was the bar once arriving home to her complex. It wasn’t that she needed a glass of wine but it would be the best way to unwind after a long day at work. Perhaps after she’d even treat herself to a face mask while watching a rerun of Bewitched since it was always on late anyway. She wasn’t expecting anyone to join her at the bar but seeing the blonde sitting a seat away from her caught her attention. Angelique was more poise than Belle, holding herself with a certain pride that she couldn’t help but admire. “The party for New Years was nothing short of amazing, you really outdid yourself.”

Angelique was the kind of person who worked better with a glass of wine by her side. Now that the holidays were over, it was time to return to the usual events: weddings, company parties, the like. With Valentine’s Day coming up, the engagement and wedding season was slowly but surely beginning. With her head in her work, she hadn’t even noticed the brunette come and sit beside her. “Mon Dieu, you caught me by surprise,” she exclaimed with a hand at her chest. Angelique motioned for Belle to sit beside her, moving her coat to make room. “Merci, you’re too kind. It’s just my job, you know. What are you drinking tonight, and why alone? Well, not so lonely any more--you have me now.”
