1. She spends it with her best friend.
2. She's in love with her best friend.
3. No one's parents or relatives die. Although, Jack would probably be enjoying himself even more if his mother had.
4. Valentine's Day falls on a weekend again, so they're able to spend the entire day together with no work interruptions or crazy people to deal with. Specifically, they spend nearly the entire day together in Jack's bed making love.
5. Sex is no longer a chore, something she has to do. Now, it’s actually one of her favorite activities. This dramatic turn around was made possible because...
6. Jack is astronomically better in bed than any of her previous boyfriends. Honestly, she's lost track of how many orgasms she's had in the last 24 hours. She could just ask Jack. He definitely knows.
7. Between rounds of sex, they do nothing but watch TV and eat.
8. Her Valentine's Day present is a kitchen full of chocolate. Literally. She wakes up Sunday morning to find dozens of varieties of cakes, donuts, cupcakes, candy, fudge and chocolates from around the world covering nearly all the counter space in Jack's kitchen.
9. She doesn’t have to make some half-ass attempt to cook anything. That’s Jack’s department. What couldn’t the man do, really? Handsome, rich, amazing in bed, and a really good cook. It was like hitting the lottery. And he knows she’d rather stay in than fight the crowds, so he cooks her an amazing dinner. Bacon-wrapped tenderloin, grilled asparagus, twice baked potatoes, lots of wine, and then back to the chocolate. In other words, complete perfection.
10. No toilet mishaps. In fact, her favorite (secret) part about Jack’s amazing apartment is the two bathrooms.
11. After dinner, he lets her watch an episode of Little People, Big World. Even though he doesn’t like the show. And afterwards, she lets him watch some show about WWI on the History Channel. Even though she’s not the least bit interested in it. She just cuddles on the couch with him, thinking about all the little compromises for love and friendship, surprised by how meaningful they really are. As her mind wonders, she honestly can’t think of anything she wouldn’t at least try to compromise about to make this work. To make them work.
12. Some time late that night, when she’s drowsily laying with him in bed, head on his chest, watching a movie; he whispers, “Lemon, it’s after midnight. Valentine’s Day is over.” She looks at up him, brow furrowed. “Now, I can ask you something,” he continues.
She rubs the back of her hand against her tired eyes. “Huh?”
“Well, there’s no way Liz Lemon would get engaged on Valentine’s Day. How unoriginal and clichéd, right? And for fear you’d mistakenly swallow it while rapidly overindulging, I also decided against the equally trite ‘hidden in a pastry’ shtick.”
“Jack? What are you talking about?” And then a bright sparkle catches her eye. She looks down at the hand he’s holding and gasps.
“Liz...will you marry me?”
13. For the first time ever, she makes a huge life decision without freaking out or overanalyzing everything.
14. She falls asleep looking at the beautiful diamond ring, already sure it’s the best decision she’s ever made.
