Last Friday Night

She couldn't help the smile that formed on her face as she read her own name on one of the letters she pulled from the mailbox. "That's sweet," she said to herself, setting it aside a moment while she quickly shuffled through the rest before putting her letter back on the top of the pile and wandering back inside, "no one ever writes letters anymore.."

Setting the other letters, none of which were for her, on the counter as she walked passed, she headed outside and slid easily into her egg chair, letter clutched tight in both hands. Finally, she teared it open and tucked the envelope into the cushion on which she sat, carefully unfolding her letter.

Dear Abbey, it started and she could help but giggle a little as she read her name.

I just wanted to write and thank you so much for last Friday night! I had such a great time and I don't think it would have been nearly as special without you there. I remember you mentioned how much you love old fashioned things like letters and so thought I'd surprise you. Surprise! 

I remember, we danced on table tops, definitely took too many shots. Think we kissed, but I forgot? Do you remember more than I do? Half of it's a blacked out blur, but I'm pretty sure it ruled. Still trying to connect the dots... But anyway, I was planning on keeping it short & sweet, so I'll just say this; this Friday night, do it all again?

"Who are you?" Abbey asked under her breath as she rose from the egg chair. "Remember more than you do? I don't remember anything!" So lost in her thoughts, Abbey jumped as her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out and looked at it. From: Randy- did you get my letter? Tomorrow's TGIF!!! As she read the text, Abbey raised a brow. O-k....

As she made her way back inside, she shook her head as she thought of her parents. "I'm screwed," she thought, "oh well." she shrugged and typed a response to Randy on her phone. yeah, let's do it all again. TGIF (tomorrow)!! 
"Nothing to lose," she whispered to herself as she hit send.
