The man, Daniel, has a simple, get-to-know-you conversation. He asks the basics, but we soon get to talking about movies and shows we both find fascinating.

"It's so good to have all of you back; I almost thought that was going to be the end of this little four friendship," Kelvin announced, laughing. "But we could still have continued the friendship if we were not here; we talked on the phone literally every day," Anita noted, and they all laughed. "But no matter how many times we talk, it's still not the same as having you here and visiting you whenever we want," Laura mentioned, sipping from her wine glass. They all laughed again.

As if I'm deliberately shutting him down out of spite when he probably needs a friend right now like seldom before in his life. Although I'm still honest enough with myself that my motivation behind striking up a conversation is not exactly to let him vent, but for me to stop feeling like an ass. We have to slow down a little to get out more than a few coherent words, and after several still pressed, single-word answers we finally find a few topics we can discuss - sports, news, video games - and by the time we are back home and spend another few minutes outside stretching talking to

Daemon: Next week then. Coffee? Or lunch? Me: Lunch sounds good

"I had also seen your posts with Cody. Haven't you outgrown him yet?" I rolled my eyes, grabbed my phone, and headed for my bedroom. "It’s a best-friends-for-life thing, mother. I could never outgrow him." "Don’t tell me you two are already having sex?" I grimaced instantly. "Ew, gross, why would you even think that?" "Come on, you are both adults.
