LEWIS HAD kept his promise and made a spectacular independence day dinner for the girls. the trio couldn't remember the last time they laughed so much. being together again like they were when they were teenagers just trying to figure out the world was nostalgic for them, yet refreshing.
evelyn had arrived back at her own apartment around 9:30, for she had plans of her own. she quickly changed into some more comfortable attire and wrapped herself in a blanket as she curled up on the couch. with a glass of red wine in one of her dainty hands, she watched sleeping beauty.
one might think that evelyn watching a disney princess movie was unfitting and a bit presumptuous. but it was the sentiment behind the movie that made her want to watch it tonight. bobby insisted on taking evelyn to see it on opening day for their fifth date. even though the movie was meant for children, it was one of the most magical and romantic movies she had ever seen.

the icy flakes harshly hitting the ground and melting into non-existence. he thought people were a lot like snowflakes — each one unique but always melting in the fear of being rejected by society's conservative norms.
