Fifteen pages later and I'm finally done with this paper. Can you believe it? Fifteen pages! It's crazy!

TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

FROM: ALFIE

What class is that for? (And yes, crazy indeed.)

TO: ALFIE

FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

Geography. We had to write about the effects of climate change. Boring and completely juvenile. I would have done something like this in college. 

TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

FROM: ALFIE

Ah, well, it's done, yeah? I say we celebrate!

TO: ALFIE

FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

Does that mean you want to meet up? Remember what happened last time? 

TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

FROM: ALFIE

Yes, Liz... -.-

TO: ALFIE

FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

YOU DROPPED YOUR COFFEE ALL OVER THAT POOR MAN. 

TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

FROM: ALFIE

I SAID I WAS SORRY! 

TO: ALFIE

FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

You're just evil, Alfie. Evil, evil, evil. 

TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

FROM: ALFIE

Bet it made a grand story to tell his wife when he got home, though. 

TO: ALFIE

FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

Hm. Maybe. Who's to say he's got a wife, though? He could well-enough be on his own. 

TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

FROM: ALFIE

At that age? I certainly hope not.

TO: ALFIE

FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

What? He was only forty something. 

TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

FROM: ALFIE

More along the lines of sixty. 

TO: ALFIE

FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

No way!

TO: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

FROM: ALFIE

Yeah, he had white hair and glasses and everything. Can't believe you missed it. Do you need glasses? (; 

TO: ALFIE

FROM: E(LIZ)A(BETH)

Shut up. And, well then, I sincerely hope he went home to his lovely wife and they had a good laugh about it.
