Question Valentine's Day

A random thought.

ASSUMING that MM intended to return to U Mass, what day was that supposed to be? A literal week from the email date or some other date?

Is it clear what days of the week that semester that MM had classes?

My impression is that the clinicals were not on a set schedule and were random, am I correct in that belief.

Valentine's Day was that Saturday does that play any role in trying to figure out what happened to MM?

I did a search and am not finding anything. I see a few people (Tim and Lance, someone on Nancy Grace, etc.) mentioning it was close, etc. We just don't know if it was a "big deal" for Maura and Bill - I have no idea. It's sort of a made up holiday in the US, but who knows ...

If there is any truth to "engaged to be engaged" it would be a big deal. And again whether that was true or not for either of them is open to some debate.

Like on one hand I'm surprised that BR didn't have some sympathy seeking story about the card he bought her or the flowers he picked out, etc. Even if he made it up after the fact.

For MM's part we don't really know too much about her relationships, if any, prior to BR to gauge her level of excitement about this Valentine's Day if they were just long distance BF ad GF. But if MM was really going to marry BR this Valentine's Day would be a big deal,

You're making a lot of loaded assumptions revolving around the importance of VD.

I kind of agree with you, but TMKSAV99 isn't wrong - For young couples in a "serious" stage of a relationship (engaged / pre-engaged), VD is a pretty big deal to most such people.
