[ he drops the topic until they’re seated, and clarifies: ]

It is, and I mark time from everything without thinking about it. But I think anniversaries like you mean are a different kind of marking time. I know when time spirals out from this event or that but it isn’t always something I’d do shit for even if I remember it. Tomorrow’s a month for you chronologically since we first kissed but while I’m aware of it I wouldn’t really do anything about it. I’d just know, and maybe think about it in a normal way, but it’s not like an anniversary you do shit for.

I’m hardly gonna mind if shit slips by you. It ain’t your aspect?
