1:10 pm. Actor's in place.

The curtain raises.

9:25 p.m., time posed.

'Lights, camera action,' Donatel announced.

'Excuse me, sweetness,' a familiar says. The maintenance guy, Barry Diddy.

His blue eyes sinned like a star from heaven, holding a box of chocolates.

He smiled, 'Darwin said to give Tonya Gibson these.'

Tony's takes the chocolates and says, 'Thanks!'

Tonya left the auditorium, and she was seen climbing into a black limo. Someone had picked her up

The limo driver was none other than Garcia W. Wells, Darwin's private limo.

'Take me straight home,' Tonya tells Garcia.

Soon, the limo came to a complete stop.

Tonya hands him a ten dollar bill.

She runs to the stairs, rushing up them, and makes it to the top.

She steps inside, there's Peter, the table is set for two.

Hot shrimp from the Sheamus Shrimp House, sliced mushrooms, and a full basket of hot bread rolls. On the middle of the table was a bottle of wine chilling in the ice pail.

A movie, 'Plato', was sitting by her plate.

The one thing that stood out was a small blue box, closed, which was in her hands reach.

'Happy Anniversary, my love, it's been a year, and we are still together,' Peter says.

She was living in the moment, placing the box of chocolates on the table. She didn't know whether to sing, dance, or cry. Maybe all three. Peter had not forgotten their anniversary.

It was the best day ever, a box of chocolates, shrimp, and Peter.

He rattled the spoons together, as the song 'Unchained Melody' by Elvis Presley begins to play -

UNCHAINED MELODY 

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lovely time

Time goes by so slowly
And time can do so much
Are you still mine?
I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me

Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers cry
Wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me

Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered for your touch
A long, lovely time

I need your love
I need your love
God speed your love to me - - -

The lights go dim, Peter nervously picks up the blue box, and looks into Tanya's eyes.

'That's a wrap,' Donatel announced.

The curtain falls.
