The glass door opens.  Deacon looks over to see a gorgeous brunette walking out to the table caring a salad.  She is petite but defined.  A flowered sundress revealing her olive skin and a smile takes Deacons breath away.  Lana follows right behind her and asks Deacon if he remembers her best friend Crissy, her maid of honor at her and Greg’s wedding.  He tells her that of course he remembers her.

“Your wedding was just a year ago.” 

“Is that all it’s been, just a year?”  Greg says laughing. 

Lana punches Greg in the arm.  Deacon confirms his suspicion of this being a set up.  Deacon stands up and while reaching to greet her knocks Greg’s beer over.   Greg jumps backwards in his chair as Lana hurries with a towel that had been under one of the pots on the table to stop the flood of beer.  Embarrassed by the spilt beer, Deacon tells her it is nice to see her again and she returns the same gesture.  Everyone sits back down and Deacon shoots a glance over at Greg.  Greg just shrugs and smiles as he knows this look from Deacon is related to the set up.  They all have a couple of beers. Crissy and Deacon get caught up on each other’s lives through dinner.  After dinner, the conversation turns to the past and all of the stupid things that Greg and Deacon did as kids.  They all laugh at the reminisced events.  Deacon checks his phone for the time, he sees it is almost nine o’ clock.  He tells them that he had better get going as he has to go see Simon tomorrow. 

“Simon,” Crissy asks.
