Hey! How’s it going?
Unknown
You don’t know who this is, do you?
Ben
didn’t expect to hear from you so soon ;)
Unknown
There was someone last week too?
Ben
Feel like I’m digging myself a hole.
Unknown
Please, keep digging.
Ben
if you’re not from last night or last wk…
Unknown
I can’t believe you didn’t keep my #
Unknown
Never mind. This was obviously a bad idea.
Ben
No, no. You can’t just text and then not tell me who you are.
Unknown
I know, two years ago. Must be hard.
Unknown
No, but my best friend’s boyfriend did. Remember Becca?
Ben
As in Andy and Becca?
Kali
Do you even remember me?
Ben
Sure. Becca’s best friend.
Kali
God. I thought maybe you had grown up some.
Ben
Ok, Kali. What do you want?
Kali
You’re still friends with Andy, right?
Ben
The best of friends. We’re even roommates.
Kali
And how happy is Andy?
Ben
I mean, he did get laid off recently. And mostly he stays in his room...
Kali
So basically he’s a shut-in?
Kali
Do you think he still has feelings for Becca?
Ben
What are you getting at?
Kali
Remember the promise?
Ben
God. The promise. So lame.
Kali
Totally. But they believed it.
Ben
Right. If they were still together at their five-year high school reunion…
Kali
Then they’d get engaged. They even had matching promise rings.
Ben
I tried to tell him high school relationships never last.
Kali
But their’s almost did.
Kali
Becca still wears her ring.
Kali
I think they still love each other. Do you know what’s coming up?
Kali
Their five year reunion!
Ben
I feel like you’re up to something.
Kali
Do you think Andy still loves Becca?
Ben
No way. He’s moved on.
Kali
Did he keep the ring?
Ben
I’m sure he got rid of it.
Kali
Prove it. You said you’re roommates. See if he hid it anywhere.
Ben
You want me to snoop?
Kali
Don’t you want to see your best friend happy again?
Ben
All right. He’s at the laundromat. I guess I could take a quick peek…
Kali
;) You don't know the half of it.
Ben
Okay, I’m looking around his desk. He’s been working on a novel.
Kali
I thought he was a stock analyst.
Ben
Unemployed stock analyst.
Ben
Rubber bands? Paper clips? Why does he have so many paper clips?
Ben
Nothing in the desk. Checking the nightstand.
Ben
There’s a copy of Twilight in the drawer :-/
Kali
Check his sock drawer. That’s where all guys keep their private stuff.
Ben
Know this from experience?
Ben
No. My socks! He’s been stealing my socks!
Ben
Sorry. I don’t know where else to look.
Ben
All right...shoes, belts...wait - here’s a cigar box...
Ben
I think I heard something…
Ben
I think someone’s unlocking the front door.
Ben
If he catches me, I’m screwed!
Ben
Pictures. Of him and Becca. And…
Ben
The ring. He kept the ring. Crap. I hear him.
Kali
Ben? Did he catch you?
Ben
I put the box back but he found me in his room.
Ben
I told him I’d run out of socks ;)
Ben
I guess. It was a close call.
Ben
It doesn’t mean he loves her.
Kali
It means he still has feelings. They’re both so miserable.
Kali
What if they’re meant to be together?
Ben
What are we supposed to do about it??
Kali
Their five year reunion is in two months. If we can get them back together by then…
Kali
Don’t you want Andy to be happy?
Ben
I can’t believe he kept the ring.
Kali
We have to do whatever we can to get them back together.
Ben
So we’re like cupids?
Kali
Sure. Or love angels.
Kali
Whatever. The point is, we have to work together.
Ben
Okay. Wait. Doesn’t Becca live in Seattle?
Kali
We both do. We’re roommates. :)
Ben
We live in NYC! This is basically impossible!
Kali
Nothing is impossible. :)
Ben
Andy just came in my room and said a publisher was interested in his novel!!!
Ben
He thanked me for sending it????!
Kali
I work for a publishing house. It wasn’t hard to get Andy’s e-mail.
Kali
I said you sent it with the best intentions ;)
Kali
When he flies to Seattle for the meeting I’m going to make sure he “accidentally” runs into Becca.
Ben
I hope you know what you’re doing.
Kali
Of course. We have nothing to lose. :oD
Ben
Except our best friends...
