4a: Planning to spend Valentine's Day with your ex-boyfriend...classic! *chuckles*

Actually, I do not think it will be awkward at all. We're friends now so I think this will be a fun outing. It is just ironic that it happens to fall on Valentine's Day! Ah, well, at least I won't be spending it by myself drowning my sorrows in hot chocolate!
