Moment One
"Dez," she calls, her fingers drumming against the edge of the sofa, "do you know the date?"
He shoves the half-eaten sandwich into his mouth. "I dunno know. It's the fifth." He licks his fingers, then stares at her. "Isn't it?"
Ally laughs in an irritated way. "Yeah. Do you know the month?" she drills him, her brown eyes piercing into his blue ones.
She scrutinizes his every move.
"Uh - that sandwich was the best. For a three week's sandwich, it still tastes good." Dez rubs his stomach, a satisfied look across his face. "Uh, it's January. Yeah, January."
"Yeah. Do you know what time it is?"
"Five," he reads off the red vibrant print on the clock.
Her smiles wear down, grins take its place. "Right again. You know what today is?"
"No. It's just Tuesday."
"Well, let me remind you: it's the anniversary of our first official date."
He looks at her, then bursts into laughter. She shakes his head in disbelief - how dare he behaves like this? It's their first year anniversary, and he thinks it is okay to blow it off, that it means nothing. He isn't capable of a lot of things, his behavior is peculiar, his actions are unexplainable, but this is the last straw. She can't deal with this right now.
She gets up from the sofa, and starts to walk away until she feels a hand on her shoulder.
"This is for you." Dez places a small box in her hands. "I didn't forget."
She stares at the box, then at him again. Impatiently, her fingers tug at the box; her breath increases rapidly. "What is it? A film reel? Thanks Dez."
"Yes, it's a combination of the moments on our first date. I'm not really good at this, but I want you to be happy."
Her face softens. "Awe, that's so sweet. My gift next to yours is lame. I got you that camera you were ranting on about."
"That's awesome. I really wanted that. Thanks, you're the best!"
She flashes him a quick smile.
"Where is it?" He looks over her shoulders, scans the room up and down, then looks back at her.
And the moment ends. Ally sighs as she gives Dez her gift, relaxes into his embrace, and watches the reel with him.
