We arrived at the club and I was out of the car and walking towards the door before Alice even got the key out of the ignition. When she finally caught up to me I whispered in her ear “who’s the grandma now”? She gave me a playful swat, laughed, and we headed in.

Upon entering I realized I had no idea what I was doing there. I glanced around to view my surroundings and was very uncertain. I suddenly missed Eric. I missed the familiarity of his arms around me. I missed his cologne and I suddenly felt very out of place. I glanced at Alice and she looked like a kid who just got trapped in a candy store. She had a smile across her face like you couldn’t believe and was already dancing to the music, swaying back and forth without any sort of rhythm. If I wasn’t so confused at that point I would probably be in a fit of laughter. She happened to glance back at the same moment and must of saw me hesitating, and she knew immediately I was uncomfortable. She pulled me aside and said “is my dancing really that bad?”.

“No.” I said with a faint smile

Alice said ” Well you look like a deer caught in headlights, which shows me that A- your embarrassed to be standing next to me because of my dance moves or B your just a little bit uncomfortable being here. I’m not sure which answer I prefer now that I think of it.

” No I want to be here but I don’t know what I expect from being here.” I said.

“I thought we were here for me, or did I miss something?” Alice said

“I ‘m not sure we were here just for you but now, I’m not sure of anything”

I wasn’t sure If I should explain my whole conversation I had in my head earlier to Alice at that point. She was staring me down searching for some sort of answer at the comment I had in advertently made, but before I could get a word out, we were interrupted by two girls.

“Alice is that you”?
