the way it is with Kate.

Are you guarding the drinks?

Hey.

Just trynna make some tips.

Are you... avoiding someone?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's this guy I used to go out with,

and...

it's really awkward.

There's another person that

you went out with at this party?

Yeah.

Um... and I didn't end things well,

and it's just really uncomfortable.

It's kind of embarrassing.

- Wow!

- I just don't know if he saw me and...

or what, but...

Is he looking over here?

I don't know.

Who are you talking about?

He's, um... behind me.

He's got the blazer and the hair.

Ben?

You went out with Ben?

I mean, it was for, like, two seconds.

And...

I just...

I didn't return his phone call,

and I felt like a jerk,

and I just...

Is he looking over here?

Did he see me?

You know, I mean, he's pretty

much staring at you, so...

Oh, good. Great.

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- You went out with Ben?

- How do you know him?

Through Sam.

God, it's such a small world.

All right. Now, here's a plan, okay?

You walk out the door.

I'll meet you in the hallway.

We'll go get a drink somewhere else.

I would love to, but, um...

one of my girlfriends is over there,

and she kind of got cornered by this guy

that she used to hook up with,

and...

Ouch. Yeah.

- He looks like a winner.

- Yeah.

Um...

And I... I should say hi to...

- Yeah.

- ...Ben.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. No.

But we should catch up sometime.

Yeah.

Um... maybe get a coffee?

Yeah, coffee.

Coffee's great.

I love coffee.

Me too.

Have it all the time.

Yeah, you still have it at that place

that you used to write at?

Yes.

Nothing has changed at all.

Awesome.

Maybe I'll see you there.

I'll be there.

Okeydokey.

Well...

- Good luck with that.

- Thank you.

You say as you watch her walk away,

knowing that you won't hear from her again.

You don't even have her phone number, anyway.

You'll see each other again

at the same party next year

and have the same conversation,

wondering how time passes so quickly.

It's weird. I didn't even know

that you guys knew Laura.

Yeah, crazy, right?

Yeah.

Oh, thanks.

Well, it was great seeing you tonight.

Yeah.

- It's good to see you guys.

- Thanks for coming.

And...

be safe.

Thanks.

And give me a call

next week, yeah?

Sounds good.

Okay.

- All right. Take care, bud.

- Bye.

Hey.

Hey, Ben.

Well...

Hey, dude...

did you go out with that girl Laura?

Yep.

That's so weird.

I mean, I thought you did from Sam,

but when I asked her about it,

she said you guys just had,

like, a one-night stand.

Wait.

She said what?

She said you guys just had a one-night stand.

That's weird, right?

I mean, why would she lie about that?

I don't know.

That's weird.
