The Light We Lost

Lucy has never been a fan of Valentine’s Day. However, on the Valentine’s Day she spent with Gabe, he used photographs of the two of them to transform their apartment and presented her with a picnic of grilled cheese and truffle sandwiches. She gave Gabe a scarf and felt insecure about it in comparison to his romantic gesture, wondering now if he still has it.

Lucy expresses her doubts about Darren with Kate, but Kate convinces her to keep going forward with him because there are things about him Lucy likes. Kate invites Darren and Lucy to a dinner party with her and her boyfriend, Tom. On the day, Darren takes Kate to a bike shop and tells her he thought the best Valentine’s Day gift for her would be for them to have something to do as a couple, so he thought they should buy bikes. Lucy is so impressed by the idea that she decides to return the gift she got for Darren and get matching helmets instead.

A week after Valentine’s Day, Lucy receives a phone call from a number she does not recognize. It is Gabe, and he is emotional because he was beaten up in Baghdad by someone trying to take his camera.
