Bring Eric.” Samantha said. “No I won’t bring Eric. I prefer to go alone tonight. I’m not in a very Eric-ish mood. Besides, it is your engagement party. I’ll be a good friend and not steal the spotlight.” Liz said jokingly. She put down the phone and sagged on the couch. The truth is that things between her and Eric are not so good. It’s been three nights since the last time they had spoken. She just didn’t want to tell her friend the news over the phone. Not on her engagement night either. She thought about going to the party alone. The last time she did something like this was months ago. Heck, it should be more fun than staying at home, she thought. She glanced at the grandfather’s clock a few steps away. It was 4 pm. There’s plenty of time for a light snack and a soothing bubble bath later. Just thinking about the bath made her feel a lot better. She walked towards the kitchen and made herself some toasts. She grabbed some salami, some greens, and cream cheese and ate.
