"hmm, guess im gonna have to ask him about that. he talks about you a lot tho"

i cock an eyebrow

"he calls me almost every night talking about you and the things you two did, he even sent me pictures of that" she says pointing at my finger

"youre special george, very special to him"

"im glad, hes very special to me too!" i reply fidgeting with my ring

suddenly a strong pair of hands are dropped on my shoulder and the sweet voice of dream booms out from behind me

"drista! what the hell are you doing here?" he says big goofy grin on his face walking over and tackling her into a hug

"i flew down from dads last night, i wanted to see you graduate!"

"is dad here" he asks expression going blank

"no" is all she says

wonder what happened between them, but thats not for me to know

"anyways how long you staying for?" he asks change the mood to a comfortable one

"till mid june" she says checking the calendar to confirm

"cool" he says writing it in his phone

"well ive got practice since the big game is tonight, i assume youll be there" she nods

"yeah im gonna head off, got some unpacking and errands to run. ill see you tonight" she waves walking to the parking lot

"see ya" me and dream both reply
