casino night with Lauren

Dear Nick,

Do you remember my friend Lauren? She works at that bar you don't like, and you asked for her phone number right before you got sick. Anyway, she and I went out tonight. We talked about you a bit; she always asks how you are doing.

Lauren and I could not come up with anything to do, so we went to the casino you and I went to last February. We were clueless, even more cluess than I was when we went. At least then I had you to tell me what the hell I was doing. This time, we walked around a bit before trying to figure out the slot machines. There was all this new vocabulary and all these weird rules, and we couldn't even figure out how to put money in the damn thing! We played one round of black jack, which was a complete waste of $10 that could have bought many a diet coke or red bull.

Lauren and I had a good time, but it made me miss you even more. Get better, k?

love,
Holly
