I woke up just in time to see René walking through the front door. She has groceries.

"Heeeeeelllllllllooooooo" I say

"I don't want the building to know that I'm home, Henry." She says

"Anyways, how'd the meeting go? Anything special?" She said

"Nothing I'm too interested in. My parents are alive I found out."

Her eyes widen. She begins to realize what I said and the smile she has turns into a frown.

"Don't you want to go see your parents?"

"Not really. They're in Europe anyways. I couldn't go if I wanted to."

"Well, I've got some good news!"

"I got a promotion at work.... And I met a new person today!"

"Who?" I say

"The one that's living in my stomach!"

My face lights up in excitement! I am indescribably happy!

"By your face, I take it as you're happy" she says then smiles.

"We've got to think of some awesome names!" I say

"No, I wanted to think of names like "trash can"

Or "banana peel" she says

"Dammit! I wanted to use banana peel!"

She laughs really hard

"Having fun laughing there?" I say

"Oh yes. A lot of fun!" She says

"How about the name Audrey?"

"Delightful!"

She walks and sits down next to me. I soon get up.

"Why are you getting up?" She says

"Because if you leave milk out of the fridge, it becomes stale" I say

"Oh, yeah. Can you order pizza too?"

"Yeah, sure. Just cheese?"

"Mhm!"

I put the groceries away and order some pizza, and we just relax for the rest of the night. Ah, this is too exciting.
