“Oh my god!”
“What?”
“You will not believe who just walked in. Don't look! Then they'll know we were watching them!”
“Am I at least allowed to see who we're whispering about?”
“Wait…wait…ok, over by the punch bowl.”
“Them? Didn't you-”
“Yes, moving on. God, I cannot believe the gall. I always figured she was bold, I just never figured that she had balls. Hey!”
“When you say stuff like that, expect a spit take.”
“Fine, fine. Grr! I cannot believe them, showing up like this!”
“I don't see how they're any different than we are.”
“It is different! We're married!”
“Aren't they?”
“Uh…I don't know. Might be. That's not important! The important thing is-ohmygod they're coming this way.”
“Hello! So good of you to make it.”
“It's a pleasure to be here. And this must be the much famed other half?”
“It's so good to finally meet you in person. I've heard quite a lot about you.”
“Nothing good, I hope.”
“Ah, now that would be telling.”
“What have you two been up to?”
“Travelling the world, mostly. Stopping in anywhere that catches our eye. Just last week, we stopped in the most wonderful temple in Tibet.”
“In the middle of the Himalayas?”
“Yes, the air is pretty thin up there. I think I'm still recovering from that last climb! Oh! If you'll excuse us, there's someone we simply must speak to. Honey?”
“Well…they were nice.”
“Shut up. God, she's annoying.”
“Why are you so fixated on her, anyway? It's not like you had a crush on her.”
“I am going to kill you if ever tell anyone about that.”
“You love me.”
“Damn straight. I wonder about my sanity.”
“I do too. Honestly, purple?”
“What? It's a good color for a car!”
“What's next, a giant Viagra ad on the hood?”
“Hey! Is that a crack at me?”
“It's not like you're going to be finding out anytime soon!”
“HEY! I'm sorry! Was it the crush thing?”
