The Last Chance House
hazelnut503: maybe [name omitted] will get drunk tonight, then stumble down mason street then stumble up Franklin and notice how nice our house is. Our door will be unlocked of course and he will then stumble up the stairs and in your room!
KarenForYou83: yeah!
hazelnut503: it could totally happen
KarenForYou83: except...it's a wednesday night...what is he doing drinking on a wednesday night?
hazelnut503: weirder has happened
hazelnut503: maybe he had a rough day
hazelnut503: and he is using booze to ease the pain because he doesn't have a woman
KarenForYou83: if he had a rough day, wouldn't he want to stay at his apartment? and not go traipsing through Harrisonburg?
hazelnut503: nah
hazelnut503: he would definitely want to leave his apartment
KarenForYou83: but when he sobered up the next day, how would i explain why i let him into my house when he was drunk, without revealing my itty bitty crush on him?
hazelnut503: good natured person
hazelnut503: with a caring heart
hazelnut503: and you couldn't bear to let him back out in the dangerous streets of Harrisonburg
hazelnut503: and you were too tired to drive back
KarenForYou83: much too tired
KarenForYou83: think he'd ask me out then, or be completely weirded out by the whole situation?
hazelnut503: he would be overtaken by your mothering skills and good natured heart...AND the fact that you didn't take advantage of him(YET)...that yes, he would ask you out.
KarenForYou83: wow. so great. now all we have to do is to wait for him to stumble drunkenly into our home.
hazelnut503: yes
hazelnut503: now we just have to wait
hazelnut503: oh if only
