Kari: Loren! Mer is here, stop pacing!

Mercedes: Holy Cow guys, are you trying to give Pat a heart attack? I introduced BJ to everyone, I was sure that he knew some of them, but I wasn't going to make assumptions. I set my bag on the bar, and pulled out my singing "equipment" you know; shoes, music, etc..

BJ: Hi. I actually knew a lot of these people. Could only be a good sign, right, I asked myself.

Mer: Patrick hadn't been expecting this, at all. It had been a long time since we had all been together. I sang a few songs, and had thrown in some of our poems from highschool, just for the sentimental side of it. We danced, talked, laughed, and ate cake.
The talking, involved much story-telling about what we had been doing, what we did in school, and what we were doing now. If BJ didn't know much about me before, he certainly did now.
Everybody had been very welcoming to BJ, not leaving him out of things. I was glad when it was over, not to be leaving my friends, but to finally be alone with BJ.

Patrick: I gave Mercedes a hug and thanked her for everything/ a lot of memories ! I put my arm around Loren and we watched them go. You know Loren. It gives me a weird feeling to watch Mercedes and My daughter's son together, God , he's my grandson! I've been thinking of him as Mercedes date all night.
