&quot;Happy Anniversary babe.&quot; Stu, passed the small crudely wrapped package across to Rachel. &quot;Oh Stu you remembered!&quot; She squealed and grabbed at the package. Before unwrapping it she reached into a bag by her feet and pulled a delicately wrapped package of her own, it was blue paper, Stu's favourite colour. &quot;Lets open them together.&quot; Stu unwrapped the package it to find a rare vinyl by _Godspeed You! Black Emperor_ and what's more it was singed by at least 5 of the members. Stu was gobsmacked, this must have taken time and effort to track down and Rachel was a busy person. &quot;Oh Stu, this ring is gorgeous.&quot; &quot;I hope you don't want to take it back, because it's my Great-Aunts, left to me in her will for some reason.&quot; &quot;Wow Stu, to think I just got you that cd thingy.&quot; &quot;No babe, I love this, it's amazing.&quot; Stu looked at his watch. &quot;Oh no.&quot; &quot;What is it honey?&quot; I'm really sorry babe but I gotta split, I'll explain tomorrow, love you.&quot; He kissed a confused Rachel on the cheek and left The Diner. 2008-06-11T22:19:32Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/33895 <p>I&#8217;m expecting a huge twist from this. Like maybe Stu is the driver from the previous entry? I don&#8217;t know, it&#8217;s just the way my mind works, always looking for a way to ruin the surprise.<br />In any case, another great entry. This really sets up some nice character development.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/33895?basename=70057 2008-06-11T22:19:32Z John Perkins http://ficlets.com/authors/johnperkins21 <p>I love the order you&#8217;ve placed this in thus far. You&#8217;ve injected a huge dosage of pathos here with this installment. Very believable characters.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/33895?basename=69919 2008-06-11T14:45:37Z ♠Ana Cristina♥ http://ficlets.com/authors/asimon78 <p>Tragic, tragic, tragic.
