call me crazy but feel like rog does remember his and v’s anniversary. did he do anything, ever, for his and laura’s, other than toasting burke in prison (by himself)? no he did not. could he tell you her birthday after ten years of marriage? probably not. however. v melts into an absolute puddle even if he does the barest possible minimum on her birthday / anniversaries / etc. ditches work to stay with her and surprise her with flowers. wakes her up with smooches & breakfast in bed ( he did not make it he's just delivering ). anniversaries they'd definitely take off to boston or new york for the weekend, birthdays though she'd want to spend at home. not for a party oh god forbid but just to be surrounded by family, maybe some time out on the boat, a little séancing to hang out with her ghost besties too.

not to be all "she was born in a wet cardboard box all alone" but having hard dates to celebrate, and feeling really loved on the birthday she has, the real anniversary she has, is soooo important to her. she needs those tangible markers to hold onto. and it's not like taking his pretty little wife out dancing is a chore, either.

#➤ roger collins & victoria winters. ┊ pain sometimes precedes pleasure，miss winters.#➤ arc: mrs. collins. ┊ collinwood will always mean home to me.#they don't rlly have ... a hard ''this is official'' going together date in my view.#i do think they had their first kiss in london because i'm an incurable romantic. so if there was a date they'd use maybe that.#probably somewhere horribly morbid but also beautiful like the tower of london.#but it wasn't a grand gesture or a hard line between platonic/romantic in their relationship. like it happened. and they were both .... oh.#but they did not discuss it and it wasn't until after they got back that things got more Serious.#for one thing she's still hardcore recovering from jeff / from her own suicide attempt during that month (?)#(i should really check to see how long he was actually there)#and the last thing he'd want to do is make her feel like he was taking advantage of her.#not to baby-boy-ify him but. his first marriage where he's actually truly loved and loves in return (no witchcraft involved)#so he's really seeing it for the third time but also anew. and this is her first marriage/engagement that didn't Immediately end in tragedy #they Will be happy. damn it!
