Chekov adores Lucy and is constitutionally incapable of saying no to her. She's a bit of a party girl; if she wanted to buy the entire bar and it was within Chekov's means, he would buy it for her. She has money of her own, of course, but it would be ungentlemanly for him to allow her to spend it. Regardless, he regrets not bringing her along tonight. He was hoping that a little alone time would make Valentine's Day more rewarding.

It's very sad, being so infatuated with a girl that even a night out alone is full of thinking of her, but it's a decent kind of sad.
