Stephanie: I can't believe it
Stephanie: Billy forgot about our anniversary
Ashley: what?? 
Ashley: I can't believe it
Ashley: Billy, of all people? this man remembers EVERYTHING
Stephanie: well, that's what I thought, too... he's never forgotten before!
Ashley: are you sure everything's okay? I think you've told me before that you don't get to spend too much time together these days
Stephanie: ever since he got promoted, he's had his hands full
Stephanie: we barely go out any more, so I was hoping that at least on our anniversary...
Stephanie: but I guess not
Ashley: I'm so sorry :( is he home yet?
Stephanie: no, he called earlier today to say he might be late
Stephanie: something about a longer business meeting
Ashley: I see...
Ashley: maybe he's got something planned and wants to surprise you?
Stephanie: but he knows I hate surprises
Ashley: well, a nice surprise every now and then should be okay, right?
Ashley: stay positive!
Stephanie: I don't want to get my hopes up and end up even more disappointed later on
Ashley: oh come on, you're being too pessimistic now
Stephanie: I guess this isn't like me, but I'm really bummed, I don't know
Stephanie: these things have always been important to me
Billy forgot his anniversary with Stephanie. They don't spend time together lately, because after the promotion Bill has a heavy workload. He called earlier to say he may be late.
