Julie begins looking through the grocery bags and puts a few items in the fridge. Its a good thing she went shopping, because I wouldnt have had anything to feed you otherwise. Karen comes back in the kitchen with a disappointed look on her face. Well? Julie is curious about their other houseguest.

Shes not there, is Karens response. I knew I should have stayed here until she got up.

That wouldnt guarantee that she would have stayed, Julie reasons with her.

No, but it would have been good to explain that nothing happened last night. Karen tells why shes disappointed. I dont think shell remember much of last night and I think shell assume the worst.

Is it so bad that she thinks she got laid? Julie says the words as they run through my head. Whats her name anyway?

Uh, I dont knowwe didnt exactly talk that much.

Then how do you know she was upset? I mean she told you she couldnt go any further, but do you really think she was upset or just wanting to keep from being upset? Julie questions her.

Becauseshe had been drinking, and I picked her up outside Milkand she said someone elses name when I was kissing her.

Oh, no. Julies reply was simple yet conveyed a world of sentiment. Shell be fine. And like I said before, is it really such a bad thing to get laid?

You didnt see her last night. I really feel bad for her. At that point, Karen looks over at me and apologizes, Im sorry. Weve been talking about my night and youre sitting over thereprobably hungry as a horse.

No, no. Im okayreally. I answer politely just as my stomach rumbles. I let out a weak laugh and look at Julie.

Do you like eggs, Julies question eased my nerves. Ill make some bacon and hash browns also.

That sounds good, I explain, but all I really need is a cup of coffee.

Nonsense. Im making you breakfast.

Julie, she said all she wants is coffee. Why do you insist on making a twelve course meal, Karen takes my side against her roommate.
