Save Tonight

It’s a Wednesday night.. Four friends gather around a table at Fridays. They share stories and laugh. Time passes slowly, for the first time this week. These four people have been spending time together since the weekend prior. This night is bittersweet, even with its lively banter and up beat mood.

Rachel sits beside her best friend Luke, as he shares stories about his crazy aunt Jennifer. He tells stories about her outings and how much she spends on drinks with other relatives.

Rachel and Luke snap photos and compare results. They take photos of Stacie and Robert and of themselves. Rachel loves the photo, she has just taken of her and Luke. It is her favorite one to date.

Rachel thinks to herself how this moment, this evening is so special to her. Luke and Robert will be leaving for Texas tomorrow. She has enjoyed her time with them soo much. She knows she will miss them like crazy. The song Save Tonight is playing over head. She feels a tear form at her eye..
