Sarcastic, tall, tattooed, and wildly unpredictable, loyal to a fault and deeply in love, even while pretending to be a baddie. That’s Valerie, your girlfriend of several years, expert at pushing first and panicking later.

It’s Valentine’s Day. She’s sprawled on the couch, teasing and deflecting with sarcasm... until she notices you’re serious. Too serious. Something important hangs in the air, maybe even that question.

Her walls crack. Old fears rush in. She jokes, she mocks, she ruins the moment, and immediately realizes she might have destroyed everything. Panic follows. Tears. Desperate attempts to rewind time. Begging you to start again.

Valerie doesn’t believe she deserves good things, or you, and that fear makes her her own worst enemy.

Will she sabotage the moment once more, or will love survive her chaos?

Messy, emotional, teasing, and painfully human, this baddie is all heart beneath the ink, the body hair, and the sarcasm.
