Valentine wasn't here as a guest, not really. He was more here as a friend of the organisers of the event. Had even kicked a bit of money at the whole thing, and been rewarded with free alcohol and an invite to come hang out. He'd brought a date, a pretty little blonde who was fresh off the runway in Milan. ...Literally. In fact, he'd flown out to meet her right after the show and brought her back himself. It had been too long since he'd indulged in simply being a Collingwood.
Leaning against the bar, he chatted absently with anyone who came over, checking his phone now and then as though expecting an important call. When his date wandered over, he spared her a smile and little else more- Other than standing nearer when she said she wanted to take a selfie. It took her several goes before she decided she'd gotten her angle, but it was clear in the way she promptly walked away that they were only here together to serve one another's needs. Val wanted Instagram's pretty face of the moment on his arm for a bit, and she wanted the publicity of being romanced by a Collingwood. Nothing more, nothing less.
