"It's been three months since I last saw you!" She paused to give him a once over with her eyes. "You look good."

"Yeah," he ran his fingers through his grown out hair, "I grew up." His words were simple and said with a smile. She saw something different in him - he had changed, and she liked it.

"So you have a beard and some longer hair, now, huh?" She walked past him and relaxed on the sofa.

"And I hear you dropped out." He followed her to the living room and stared down at her. "Not at all what I expected from you of all people, Holly."

She flicked on the television and let out a soft laugh. "Yeah, well, it wasn't working out for me. Grades didn't cut it and I was out of money." She passed through a few channels randomly. "Anyway, glad you called me over. Been meaning to tell you guys: got a job as a lead art director at a local video game company - I'll be moving here over the next month."

"That's great. Now Jewels and I can bug you all the time," he said and laughed.

"That's right!" she humored. He took a seat next to her and together they watched an old 90s film on TV.
