‘It really is alright,’ his tone was more reassuring that mocking this time. ‘I just thought that since it’s such a terrible night outside… ...that it would be nice to curl up in front of my nice, ‘piece of pointless ostentation.” Izzy looked up at him sharply, to see that he was laughing quietly and inviting her to join him in the joke. She grinned sheepishly. ‘It is a perfect night for that sort of thing, isn’t it?’ ‘Indeed it is Izzy,’ Daniel said quietly, his face open and friendly, said one. As the night ended we made our way back to the hotel she told me that they were having a party in their room tonight. It was only 11 pm and I was hoping this night would never end, so I said " sure that sounds like fun". What I didn't know that her tour group was only women, 15 young women and I would be partying with them. When we arrived at her room # 69, talk about coincidence the party was in full swing. 15 women in their bra and panties drinking out of dixie cups 2 kegs were in the middle. "When Andrew was just a baby, one of our neighboring families had a ... I don't know what to call it ... an accident ... a disaster ... a tragedy ... whatever. The husband and kids were killed by a drunk driver. The wife was at home and didn't know anything was wrong until the police showed up. She was suddenly a widow and all alone."That was back in the day when drunk driving was a lot more common than it is today. It sounds stupid today, but when I was a little girl, police would stop a drunk. I reply, "Of course I am, darling." because I wasn't sure how else to respond. We had a thing where as soon as we both woke up we would take a picture of ourselves and send it to each other because we were comfortable seeing each other with messy hair and actually loved it. So the next text I received was a picture of your beautiful face. I sent mine and replied "All mine." to your picture and you replied, "Forever." I asked when you would be over and then I heard a knock on the door. I was in.
