I step out of the washroom and there, sitting on that bright green couch he so detested, is Daniel. Staring out across the room crowded with people. The party was in full swing, but Daniel didn’t seem to notice. He had a look in his eyes, one I had come to know well in the 6 months since we had become roommates. It could mean only one thing. Silvie had decided to accept his invitation, and she had brought along Toby, her fiancé.

She and Toby have been together for over a year now. I mean if Toby was an asshole I could understand Dan waiting for her to come to her senses and leave him, but he isn’t. He seems like the perfect guy and sometime in the next 9 months he will be a great father to the little surprise they have on the way.

I try telling him to move on, but he doesn’t listen. According to his sister he never does, lately she has taken to telling me stories about the women he has dated in the past. I have to admit, they make for interesting reading….
