Karen look at him expectantly as she gulped down the last of her coffee. Rick wasn't sure what she was expecting from him, but he had a feeling she would tell him in a minute. Sure enough, she did.
"So, you remember what today is right?" she finally asked.
It hit him like a ton of bricks. How could I be so stupid? Rick had forgotten that was the reason he had come in the first place. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a wrapped gift, handing it to Karen.
"Happy birthday Karen" Rick said smiling.
