Dan sat on the sofa playing video games. It had been 6 years since Phil moved out, and 3 years since his wedding. Dan had been best man. He had never felt so proud of his best friend. But since then, the visits were less frequent, the calls were shorter and Phil had moved on. The last visit was 6 months ago. Phil brought his wife, Lynda, and big news. They were expecting a baby. She was 12 weeks pregnant at the time. De dindenedid dere. It was Dan's phone. He picked it up.

"Hello?"

"H-hey, it's, uh, Phil."

"What's wrong?"

"I'm at the hu-hospital."

"I forgot what day it was! Has the baby arrived yet?"

"Y-yes, but-" Phil sobbed. "Lynda didn't make it."
