....Hooked on Her: Part 1/1....

Henry entered Granny's diner and spotted Hook sitting at a booth. He walked over and slid in across from him.

Hook smiled at him. "Hello, mate. To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"I just wanted to tell you that I know tomorrow is a big night for you and my mom, so I'll be spending it at my other mom's."

Hook's brow creased in confusion. "I'm sorry, lad, I'm afraid I haven't a clue what you're talking about."

Henry's eyes widened. "Tomorrow. You know, Valentine's Day."

Hook shrugged his shoulders. "I can tell from your tone that I should know what that is."

Henry sighed. "February 14th is Valentine's Day in this land. It's a day to celebrate love. Kids give Valentine cards out to their friends at school. Couples go out to dinner and exchange gifts, like flowers, candy, cards, and jewelry."

Hook stared at him blankly. Henry gestured to all of the red and pink hearts that decorated Granny's Diner. "Haven't you noticed all of the heart decorations up for the last couple of weeks?"

"I just assumed Granny had decided to redecorate. So let me see if I have this straight. This land sets aside one day to show how much you love someone, rather than just showing them everyday as one should."

Henry groaned. "Well, yes, but Valentine's Day is pretty important to girls."

Hook leaned forward, suddenly concerned. "There's only one lass I care about. Does your mother consider Valentine's Day important?"

Henry shook his head. "I don't know. She's hasn't been with anyone on Valentine's Day since I met her."

"I see."

"But if you don't do something and she expects it, then you're going to be in big trouble. We're talking in the dog house."

"Your mother doesn't possess a dog."

"It's a figure of speech," he replied, before sliding out of the booth. "Good luck."

Hook ran a hand down his face and sighed.

....

An hour later, Emma slid into the same spot Henry had occupied. She leaned over and gave Hook a kiss.

"Hi."

"Hi, love," he said softly.

Her eyes narrowed at him. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing. It's just...Well, Henry informed me it's Valentine's Day tomorrow and..."

Emma groaned and rolled her eyes. "Ugh, I hate Valentine's Day."

Hook's eyes widened. "You do? Why?"

"It's a made-up holiday designed to benefit the card, flower, candy, and jewelry industries."
