IT'S

NOTHING REALLY

I'M STILL A LITTLE MAD AT RAIN OVER THE NATHAN THING, BUT HE DOES SEEM GENUINELY CONTRITE... MAYBE TOO CONTRITE. I WISH HE'D STOP BEING SO NICE TOME! THINGS WILL PROBABLY ALWAYS BE A LITTLE WEIRD BETWEEN US.

.I WANTED TO ASK YOU BECAUSE YOU'RE ABOUT THE SMARTEST PERSON I KNOW. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO

DO WITHOUT YOU,, ACTUALLY...

DO YOU. ALL

REALLY LIKE THE

ROAST ?

UM, THANKS

KEVIN ASKED ME WHY I DIDN'T IN-1 VITE TOM OVER TONIGHT. I TOLD HIM THAT I'D WANTED TO LEAVE THINGS ON THE PERFECT NOTE WE'D LEFT THEM AT LAST NIGHT. THEN RAIN STARTED ASKING ME ALL THESE QUESTIONS AND I'M REALLY GLAD TOM WASN'T THERE.

GIRL,

YOU NEVER TOLD ME

ABOUT

NO TOM!

DID YOU

DO THE NAS-

TY WITH

HIM YET?

IS HE

CUTE?

HMM DIDN'T INTRODUCE A PARAMOUR TO YOU. IMAGINE THAT...

TITTER

IT'D BE NICE TO LEAVE TOWN WITH ALL MY INSECURITIES BEHIND.ME, EH? WELL ANYWAY, I HOPE KEVIN AND RAIN WILL BE HAPPY TOGETHER AGAIN, FOR REAL.

BUT YOU HAVE SUCH A LONG DRIVE TOMORROW.

You ARE

KEV, I WANT TO CLEAN UP. YOU GUYS GO ON TO BED.

So SWEET
