It's a beautiful, summer evening in 2003, there is a dinner party at the residents of Doctors, Nick and Dana Stowe Biancavilla. The Biancavilla's have been married since March the 6th 2001, they have a beautiful daughter, Tessa who is ten months old. There are many colleauge's, friends and family among the small crowd. Dana is standing by the door, in a perfect black dress, she casually has a glass of champagne in her hand and in the other is Nick's hand, standing tall, he has on black pants and a white dress shirt. They're greeting people as they arrive. The smiles on their faces are bright and their eye's sparkle with happiness.
Hours later the party's nearing it's end, guest are begining to leave, Lu walks over to Dana and Nick with her boyfriend, Harry, "thanks you two for such a lovely evening" Dana hugged Lu, "we'll do it again soon", Nick put his arm around Dana, "Harry, my man, we'll talk later", he shook Nick's hand, "that we will". Harry leaned in and kissed Dana on the cheek, "great party", Dana smiled, "thank you, Harry". Lu glanced from Harry to Dana and Nick, "they are absolutly perfect together" Harry took Lu's hand, "a match made in heaven". Nick and Dana both smiled at them and then at each other, Nick then placed a small kiss on Dana's lips, "what can I say, I alway's get my way", Dana poked Nick in the side playfully, "if that's what you think". Lu and Harry headed for the door, "goodnight", in unison Dana and Nick both gave their goodbye's.
The party was now over, everyone was gone it was just the two of them, together in their bedroom all alone, Dana was sitting on the bed in her fuzzy pink night gown, "tonight was fun" Nick crawled into bed beside her, "yeah". Dana sighed and got up off the bed, "can't believe this is happening again". Nick fell back on the bed and looked up to the ceiling and when he spoke his voice was shrewd, "You're not Miss Perfect". Dana sat down on the chase, almost on the verge of screaming "you know what Nick, just shut up, I'm not in the mood for your stupid game". Nick sat up, "what game?" Dana looked at him, the volume of her voice went up and she choose to ignore Nick's question "you know what we pretended to be happy for five hours, I think that's enough for one day". Nick laid back down, "personally, I think that was enough for the whole month".
Dana lay awake in bed that night, thinking about her relationship with Nick and wondered when it had all started to go down hill, when the bottom dropped out of everything and left her standing in the middle of what she thought was becoming a loveless relationship with a young child in the middle, who did'nt deserve this, any of it, she only wanted what was best for their daughter and with that sacrifices had to be made and promises had to be broken.
Nick lay beside her not being able to sleep either, what went so wrong? When did they grow apart and more importantly why? He loved Dana more than anything in the world and their daughter was a symbol of that love. The sad reality was they could'nt be in a room by themselves for two minutes without arguing and that's not was marriage was about, it was'nt suppose to be anyway.
The next day Dana was sitting in her office going over paper work for a new patient when she stopped what she was doing and took advantage of the peace and quiet. She looked at their wedding picture sitting on her desk and then at the picture of Tessa, she ran her fingers over the wedding picture, wishing that they still had what they did then. She took a deep breath drawing in what would have been tears and decided not to dwell in the past or worry about the future, only the present matters now.
That evening at home Dana was cooking dinner when Nick came through the doors and into the kitchen, "Dana, we need to talk" Dana stopped what she was doing and turned around, "okay" she walked over to the island in the center of the kitchen where he was standing, "for better or for worse, do they ring a bell?" Dana stared into his eye's, "yeah" Nick nodded, "well, I don't think it could get any worse" Dana's head fell, she knew this was coming, she just did'nt know it would be today, she lifted her head and looked into his eye's, "what happened Nick? when did everything get so complicated?" Nick was'nt able to look at her, "I don't know but, if I could fix it I would, but, I can't".
Dana twisted the wedding band on her finger a few times, she then paused with her finger's still on the ring, Nick looked up, she looked at him and slowly pulled the band off of her finger, he watched her take the ring off in what seemed like slow motion, knowing that this was the begining of the end.
Dana layed the ring down on the island, "this ring does'nt mean what it did when you put it on my finger and I don't think it's fair for me or for you to wear something that means nothing to us, at least not anymore". Nick picked the ring up, "a circle has no begining and no end like a marriage should, our marriage isn't a circle and has'nt been for a while now, you're right we don't appreciate being together then we should'nt be".
Dana's tears that she has been hoding back began to fall down her face, Nick walked around to where she was but, she pushed him away, he could'nt comfort her, not his time. Nick teared up but, instead of letting Dana seeing him crack, he walked into the other room.
