[FM] Hearing Our Friends in the Other Room

My husband and I were invited over to our friends house for a birthday party. They are a very sweet couple who we’ve known for years now. Our husbands hit it off instantly when they first started working together and soon after we all became fast friends. Anyway, we gladly accepted the invitation to her birthday celebration.

They have a lovely, two bedroom home in a new development just on the other side of town. The party was great, there were tons of delicious food, drinks, and yummy desserts. As the party began winding down and the crowd thinned, they broke open a bottle of wine that we had brought to the party. Soon, it was only the four of us, so we sat out on their patio and talked until way after dark. We had stopped drinking, but were still feeling the effects so we decided we would call a cab to take us home. They would have nothing of it and insisted we stay there for the night. It didn’t take much convincing for us to agree.
