"Come on, Benny, we have to go."
"But, Ray, I haven't finished my reports. I can't -"
"Yes, you can, Benny. You have to. Come on."
Without waiting for Benny to say anything else, Ray grabbed his hand and dragged him from the building, hustled him into the Riv and raced off.
"Where are we going, Ray?"
"To watch the sun set together."
"Why today, Ray?"
Ray glanced at his lover. "Because a year ago today, while I was watching the sun set, I realized I'd fallen in love with you, Benny."
"Oh."
Together, holding hands, they watched the sun set.
