"What about breakfast tomorrow?" Jack suggested.

"Yeah that sounds fun," Ashley said.

"Larry's?" Aaron said.

There was an agreement in the group. Ash, Imogen, Jack, Aaron, and Alan. Less of an agreement from Alan. More of a lack of disagreement. He was being quiet. In the parking lot everybody said bye. Alan purposefully said bye to everyone but didn't say a direct good bye to Imogen or Ashley. Instead he signaled to Jack to get into the car.

The drive home would be less than five minutes. Alan wished it would be longer. He wanted some time to think things out.

"You wanna stop and get some cigarettes?" Jack said.

Alan was surprised. "Yeah. Sure. Didn't know you smoked."

"I don't. But for tonight. Let's"

"Okay. Let's"
