Who: Valentine ot anyone
Where: Book 'Em (bookstore)
When: Sunday evening

Valentine usually helped out in his dads bookstore during the weekends. He liked having the chance to actually do something useful for once - it was a big change from his life in LA, and it made him feel more normal than he'd ever felt in his entire life. He liked shelving the books and helping customers, especially when they didn't recognize him. That was nice, the relative anonymity Sunnydale occasionally offered him. People here were strange, and seemed to occasionally live in a vacuum where they had no idea what kind of popular culture was out there.

He thought about the guy he'd been talking to last night at Sherry's party - a college boy named Jaime who had no idea who Valentine Varner was. That made him happy. He'd liked having a conversation about bad literature and silly house parties and life in Sunnydale. He hoped that Jaime would call him sometime - he'd given over one of his business cards in hopes of that.

Valentine picked up another stack of books that needed to be shelved. It was almost closing time, and he wanted to get things done before his fathers closed the place up for the night.
