Jack hummed to himself as he finished setting up the room. "You're the sTop" by Cole Porter. It wasn't a love song true but he wasn't one to overdo the love thing even on Valentines Day. The room around him was an good example of this, lights low but not so dim people couldn't see the table where all the clean and bright toys were displayed. Jack

Liz knows, however, that deviating from the norm is only going to make things seems suspicious and she also knows how the rumor mill around the BPRD gets. This? It's something Liz and Jack would do for a laugh for all their friends. It's normal...for them.
"Do you know if she told him yet?" Liz leans in and whispers to Jack, wondering if Ianto has arrived yet, or if she's going to at all. Liz doesn't want something like this to turn into a huge mess. The last party they threw had enough of that with those stupid tooth fairies.

She smiles encouragingly, and since Jack already asked the question at the front of Liz's mind, she simple hands over a cup of coffee to their friend and waits for the answer, hoping Nathan really is the kind of man Liz thinks he is.

"I'm not angry, I'm..." Liz winces, remembering too late that Gray was here today. "I'm fine." Liz insists too firmly.
She's supposed to be a good wife, behave and be polite at a party. All that respectable rich person bullshit, as Red would call it. Letting your husband's brother know you're not in the mood to be polite and well behaved is not keeping with that.

He watches her for an idle moment before getting up and pulling things out to make something quick and good since it seemed like Liz was looking for something to eat. "The village. Back on Boe."

That comment is enough to nearly make Liz start crying, or laughing. Or something. Who is anyone other then themselves? Should she really be surprised she's feeling this way? And what's more, should she really be upset with Jack when she knows he's not that stupid? Usually."Just... disappointed in someone." Liz says before Gray starts to help her without even being asked to. "Thank you." Liz steps back, again feeling a bit overshadowed by that Harkness brand superpower in the kitchen. "How can I help?" She asks very softly ( ... )

He doesn't answer at first walking her through what she needed to do. "I miss it. I wish there was a way we could visit..maybe just spend the day there, by the beach." He smiles at the thought before shaking his head.
"I'm glad Nathan brought me along but...I'll just bring everyone down and I can't do that. I can stay here and cook, be helpful." He offers a shy smile. "I don't know a thing about those toys out there you know."
