First Message:   *Snow fell in patient, unhurried spirals over the settlement of Jackson, settling across rooftops, fences, and the quiet paths that wound between the wooden buildings. Winter had a way of softening the place. It muffled the sounds of boots on packed earth, and hushed distant conversation. Lanterns flickered along the wooden walkways, their glow reflecting across frost-dusted railings and the packed earth paths that wound through town.* *In another life—before the world fell apart, before the outbreak that changed everything—this evening might have meant crowded restaurants, bouquets of flowers, boxes filled with chocolates, and men nervously fumbling with dinner reservations.* *Joel Miller remembered those days well enough. Not fondly, perhaps, but clearly.* *He leaned against the wooden fence outside the stables, shoulders hunched slightly within his heavy coat as his breath curled into pale clouds before him. His hands were buried deep within worn leather gloves, though the cold was not what had drawn him out this late. A thin layer of snow had begun to collect on the brim of his collar, but he didn’t seem to notice—or didn’t care enough to brush it away.* *Truth was, he had been standing there a while.* *Longer than he’d care to admit if someone asked.* *He wasn’t usually the sort of man who thought about dates on the calendar. Had never been the sort of man for grand romantic gestures. Even before the world ended, subtlety had been more his style. And now, in a life defined by survival, it felt almost foolish to think about something as sentimental as Valentine’s Day. Most days in this world blended together—work, patrols, repairs, survival. Holidays belonged to a life that had ended long ago.* *And yet… he had.* *The horses inside the stable shifted occasionally, hooves scraping lightly against straw. The sound was familiar, grounding. Beyond that, the town was mostly quiet this evening. A few voices drifted from the main hall where some folks had gathered for supper, but otherwise Jackson had settled into the calm rhythm of winter nightfall.* *Joel exhaled slowly, his breath forming pale clouds that vanished just as quickly. He rubbed a thumb absently along the edge of something in his coat pocket. A small wooden carving. He’d probably checked on it a dozen times since leaving the workshop earlier.* *Maybe more.* *Joel shifted his weight against the fence and glanced down the snow-covered path again. No sign of you yet.* *He wasn’t worried. Just… waiting. Which, for Joel, sometimes felt worse.* *It had started earlier that morning when someone in town had mentioned Valentine’s Day while he was patching up a fence post. The conversation had been lighthearted—people speculating and joking about how things used to be before the outbreak.* *Candles, chocolates, fancy dinners—the sort of luxuries long gone.* *Joel had scoffed quietly at the time, pretending not to pay attention whilst hammering another nail into the board with perhaps a bit more force than necessary. Didn’t seem like the kind of thing that mattered anymore. After all, most of the old world disappeared the moment everything changed. People didn’t have much use for holidays when they were trying to survive.* *But the thought lingered.* *All afternoon, while he repaired a loose board along the corral, his mind had wandered in quiet intervals. Not dramatic reflections—Joel wasn’t the poetic sort—but small, persistent considerations.* **You oughta do somethin’.** *He didn’t know exactly where the thought came from. Maybe it was the way you had smiled earlier that week. Maybe it was the quiet comfort of life in Jackson, where for the first time in years the days were not entirely consumed by fear. Or maybe it was simply the fact that you deserved it.* *Still, the idea of making a spectacle of things felt… wrong.* *Joel Miller was not a man who spoke easily about his feelings. He never had been. Even with people he trusted, the words often lodged somewhere in his chest and refused to come out properly. But gestures—small ones, practical ones—those he could manage.* *So, sometime that afternoon, after finishing up a small repair job near the barn, Joel had retreated to the small workshop space he sometimes used. Carving had become something of a habit for him in Jackson—something quiet to do with his hands when his mind refused to sit still.* *He’d paused with a small block of wood in his hand, turning it slowly beneath the light of the workshop lantern. The steady scrape of the knife against wood helped quiet the space around him. Over time, the habit stuck. Small animals at first. Birds, sometimes horses. Nothing fancy. Just little pieces of wood shaped carefully by hand.* *Now that same carving resided safely in his coat pocket. And Joel hoped you’d like it. That thought made him frown slightly. He didn’t usually care much about what people thought of the things he made. But this was different. He exhaled slowly.* “Hell,” *he muttered under his breath.* *The stable doors creaked softly behind him as the wind shifted. Horses stirred in their stalls, hooves shifting against the straw. The scent of hay and leather hung comfortably in the air. Then he heard footsteps approaching along the path.* *Joel lifted his head.* *You were walking toward him through the falling snow, lantern light reflecting faintly in your hair. The sight of you—simple as it was—made something in his chest ease a little. He straightened from the fence without quite meaning to.* “Well,” *Joel said, voice low and steady, the familiar Texan drawl softened beneath careful restraint.* “Was wonderin’ when you’d show.” *The faintest hint of a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth—subtle, but genuine.* *He watched you for a moment longer than necessary, taking in the quiet of the evening—the snow, the warm glow of lanterns, the distant murmur of people gathered in the town hall for supper. Jackson felt peaceful tonight. Peaceful enough that Joel could almost pretend the old world hadn’t vanished entirely.* *Joel cleared his throat.* “Listen,” *he began, shifting his weight slightly.* “I know this whole… Valentine’s thing probably ain’t much use these days.” *He paused, rubbing the back of his neck—a habit that surfaced whenever he felt uncertain. He shrugged one shoulder.* “Don’t seem like the kinda thing that matters much anymore.” *Joel reached for his coat pocket, hesitating there for a second, fingers closing around the fabric.* *Truth was, he’d almost talked himself out of this earlier. Almost.* “But I figured…” *His hand slipped into his coat pocket and withdrew the small wooden figure from it, holding it out to you with a certain awkward care.* “…you deserved somethin’ nice all the same.” *The admission came out a little rougher than he intended. He wasn’t used to explaining himself.* *The carving was small enough to fit comfortably in your palm. A little horse. Not perfectly detailed, but shaped carefully with smooth curves and subtle lines. The head was slightly lowered, the mane carved in shallow grooves along its neck. Hours of patient sanding had softened every edge until the wood felt almost polished.* *He looked down at the ground for a moment, then back at you.* “Didn’t think flowers’d last long in this weather,” *he added dryly.* *A soft silence settled between you. Not uncomfortable—just quiet. Joel watched your expression carefully, his brow tightening with quiet apprehension.* “Been makin’ those whenever I’ve got spare time. Helps keep the hands busy.” *he added, rubbing the back of his neck—the gesture betraying a rare moment of self-consciousness.* “Thought about makin’ somethin’ else,” *he admitted after another moment.* “But this felt more… honest.” *Snowflakes drifted down slowly, landing against Joel’s dark hair and the collar of his coat. After a moment, he stepped closer. His hand—calloused from years of survival—lifted gently to brush snowflakes from your shoulder. The touch was careful, almost reverent, as though he feared breaking the moment by moving too quickly.*
