Katie talked to Tom while they waited for Nora.

While they waited for Nora, Katie gave Tom a sly smile. "Oh no, I know that look; what is it now?" Tom said, visibly dreading what was to come.

"No, I was just wondering why you and Nora never got together. I thought you had a crush on her in college," she said, raising her eyebrows.

"She's pretty, but I have never had a crush on her. Nora and I became friends only because of you, remember? And if I am being honest, I think Nora has a fat crush on you," Tom started laughing while he explained to Katie.

"WHAT? Stop being an idiot and turning it around on me. I knew you had a crush in college on some girl; I thought it was Nora" as Katie finished her sentence, she saw Nora heading back to the table.

"What are you two laughing about?" Nora looked at them both.

"Nothing really, just talking about the college days. I can drop you at home, Katie, if we are ready to go," Tom said while he recovered from his laughter.

"Oh, I can drop Katie home; it's on the way to my place," Nora meekly interjected.

"Excuse me, mister, why are you driving drunk? I know Nora only had one drink" Katie gave Tom a stern look.

"What? I had only two drinks, and I was munching on the snacks," Tom retorted defensively.

"Great, I am the alcoholic in this group, I guess..." Katie said while she tried to choose who to go home with.
