"Cool"

"Cool," I replied. The room felt dead quiet at this point.

"You tired?"

"Not really, you?"

"Nah. Wanna stay up a while?"

Emily and I stayed up a lot later than I think either of us intended, just talking, getting to know each other, and drinking a bit more. Eventually, some time around 5am, we parted ways with a drowsy hug and went to get a very short night's sleep.

I'd love to tell you what we talked about that night, but honestly, I don't think either of us can remember. I blame the alcohol.
