(I know this is a day late. Blame time zone differences and such. But better late than never.)

February 14th was a special day to show all kinds of love and appreciation for those in people's lives. Friends being there for other friends, families doting on their loved ones... and couples happy in love showing their partners how much they mean to them. And it was no different in CrestHaven for 2 couples.

For Ben Fullpark and Spencer Caldon, they were happy to be together. Even if their relationship had its ups and downs, especially when it came to the topic of keeping secrets. But with communication and trust, they managed to pull through and come out stronger. Even if the former being a superhero makes the latter worry for his safety.

After the bandicoot heard from the husky regarding how his family show affection for their partners, he decided to surprise him. And so during the day (With no troubles requiring superheros for one of the rare times it was truly peaceful), Ben bought a big enough dog collar that would fit. But another idea came to him, and he went to get changed into graffiti artist/part time uniform, before ducking into an alley and used his spray paints.

Afterwards, he called Spencer to meet him at the alley for a surprise. And after the husky arrived, the bandicoot had him cover his eyes. And soon revealed the collar once the eyes were uncovered, before putting it on around his neck. And then, he directed his boyfriend's attention to the artwork he created. Visibly touched by Ben's gesture, Spencer gently clasped his boyfriend's right hand and looked lovingly into his eyes (Even if he briefly, but playfully scolded him for the bit of recklessness). When Ben returned the longing gaze to the husky, all they could think about was how lucky that they had ended up together.

Meanwhile with Taylor Parker/Harding and Richard Harding (Not married yet), it was quite the day since they were spending time with the latter's daughters. Though certainly made for an entertaining Valentine's Day, especially with fun and laughter. But eventually, the time came for Richard's ex-wife to pick up their daughters. At the very least, the couple could finally have some privacy now.

And later on that night, the two of them ended up using a private hot tub to relax. Having undressed before getting in to relax and cuddle up to each other. The warmth of the water helped relieve any stress that might've crept up on them, and they lovingly hold and embrace each other together while the stars shined above them in the night sky.

And so, 2 more couples were among a number of people who felt love and appreciation from loved ones and caring souls ready to share such positive feelings towards them. Always remember however, that love comes in all shapes and sizes. And never forget that there is someone who loves and cares about you, so never feel like you're alone.

Happy belated Valentine's Day.
