around. She just didn’t know what.
    “Okay then. Let me just open the door for you. Give me a second,” Christen called through the door. She unlocked the deadbolt and the chain lock before opening the door to let Eric in. “What’s up Eric? How are you?” she asked him as he walked in. He waved a letter in her face casually.
    “It’s a letter,” he said before adding, “It’s from Joey.” Christen’s eyes lit up instantly. Kat cheered with excitement for her friend.
    “Well Mr. I Am No Fun, why aren’t you opening it up and reading it to us?” Kat asked him. Eric gave her a glare before doing just as she said. He opened up the envelope and pulled out two letters.
    “The idiot forgot your address, so he put both of our letters in the same envelope,” he told them before opening the letter and started reading.
     
     “Dear Christen,
     
               I just got all settled at base for now. I’m already missing you and Eric like crazy. I made a few new friends, though I am scared to get attached to people. Then again, this must be ten times worse of a feeling for you. I’m sorry I left you after proposing, I really do feel like a dick for doing that to you. But no worries, I made a promise right? I’m not going to be dying, not until I am old and gray dying together with you, holding you in my arms. Our wedding will be amazing! You can start planning without me. I want you to have the perfect wedding of your dreams. I just want a black tux. That’s all I want. Oh. And some really good chocolate cake. Okay, almost drooled at the sound of that! Remember Eric’s dessert? Oh my god, that was delicious. Well I got to go now, so write me back. I’ll reply when I get the chance to. Love you sweetheart. P.S. I forgot your address… don’t shoot me.”
     
     Eric took a deep breath after reading.
     
    “Oh give us the letter.” Kat told Eric, taking it out of his hand and then handing it over to Christen. Christen took it with a small smile.
    “Thank you so much for bringing this over. It means a lot to me,” she said with obvious thankfulness and happiness. “Do you want to stay and watch a movie with us?” Christen winced as Kat rubbed her heel into Christen’s foot nice and hard. She gave her the look of disdain, but it was already too late. Eric looked at his watch, thought for a moment, and then gave a slow nod of his head.
    “Sure, I have some time to spare," he chimed in, giving Kat a smug look. It was almost like he was mocking her for the fact he was staying, though she clearly did not want him to.
    “Dude, it’s a chick flick. If you cry or even show a little emotion, I have the right to go ahead and question your sexuality,” Kat warned him with a sneer. Christen shook her head at the two, now in a dead match of glares.
    “This is going to be a long night, I can tell,” she mutters.
    The movie wasn’t the greatest movie. It was a cheesy romantic comedy with some gamer chick and some loser. In the end they both admitted to having smoking and gaming issues, and together they work to fix their problems.
    “That movie was speaking to all relationships!” Kat blubbered with a snotty nose and red puffy eyes. “A relationship can work; people just need to solve your problems together!” she exclaimed, blowing her nose into a tissue. Eric and Christen looked at each other with the same quizzical facial expressions.
    “That movie sucked.” Eric just came out and said it. He dug his spoon into the ice cream and got a big lump-full that he slipped into his mouth.
    “You suck!” Kat yelled at him. “Go away! This is girls' night; you’re not a girl are you? It would explain a lot of things though...” she pondered. Eric was not amused at that comment, though he did not say anything. It wasn’t gentleman-like to cuss a lady out, as much as he wanted to.
    “Well I have business to attend to anyways, brat,” Eric smoothly stated, getting up from the couch.
    “Wait a moment,
