“Ok, I’m back,” Dana drops a large cardboard box on the coffee table, “thanks for making me carry that down the stairs by the way.”

Jesus. ” Well how was I supposed to know you were bringing down a treasure chest? Dane, what is all this?” I walk over to the table, examining its contents. “Tapes, cd’s, notebooks”

She sits on the couch, pulling me down next to her, “The tapes are recordings of all your shows. I never missed a show. The cd’s are filled with hopelessly, depressing love songs that I was sure would prove to you how much I missed you.”

That makes me laugh, “DanaI don’t know what to say.”

“And these notebooks” She looks down at the floor embarrassed. “Well, I keep track of everything that I’ve ever wanted to tell you over the best months. I didn’t want to forget one thing. You weren’t in my life everyday, but I wanted to be sure that when you were, I could share everything I’ve gone through without you.”

I place my finger under her chin, propping her head up, “That is one of the most beautiful things anyone has ever done for me.”

A smile spreads across her face, she moves in pressing her lips against mine, so gently. It feels so good, but I can’t help feel the guilt that follows. I try to wash it away.

I pick up a disc, “Now these cd’slet’ see what I have been missing.”

She tries to wrestle the disc away from me, “Oh come on AliceI have you back now.”

“Oh don’t be so cocky, Dana. Now lets see hereMariah Carey, uh huhCold Play, ah Miles Davis” I nod my head, feeling myself get emotional. “Aw, this is soI just, ” I continue to look at the track list. “Wait. What the ***** Dana? Betty?”

She laughs, “Well, I thought it would remind you of the happy times we shared at the Planet.”

Rolling my eyes I set the disc down, “Yeah, or it would cause me permanent brain damage and life long nightmares.” I sigh, “All in all, I have to give it to you Dana. I can’t believe you did all of this…for me.” I stare at the box.
