Email from Quincy to Chuck

Oh, Chuck – I am so, so sorry I missed you. I got all your phone messages, and I feel terrible. But something crazy happened the day before you got here. Tim proposed. He did it down by the park where we used to walk. It was a surprise. The daisies are still out – can you believe it? We’ll have to plan a wedding now, I suppose. We went up to my parents’ place the next day and ate casserole and drank champagne.
You’ll be invited, of course. You can sit at the table with Your Nemesis and Ralph and that rock critic who looks like Uma Thurman if you’d like. I know they’d love to see you. We’d all love to see you. They tell me you had quite a good time together. And your sober friend tells me Uma and Nemesis climbed up on the roof! I wish I could have been there. I really do. But it’s just – sometimes life throws you a curveball you could never plan for.
Do let me know if you ever come to Minneapolis again. I promise not to run out next time! Tim sends his greetings. I hope you can make it for our wedding. It will be in spring. No sense trying to celebrate when it’s freezing and nothing’s growing.

Your Friend,

Quincy
