Wacky Walter was about to read some news headlines, but Stephanie didn't feel like arguing with her friend; she knew very well that grumpy Tiff was no fun to be around, no fun at all. She popped the tape in, punched play and drove off.

"Damn straight." Tiffany said, dancing in place a s she floofed her hair in the mirror.
"I highly doubt it..." Stephanie mumbled, listening to Jermaine Stewart's vocal stylings.
"What's that?"
"Nothing."
"So, uh..." Tiffany looked to her friend. "Have you talked to Miles? Like, at all?"
"Not since graduation, no. He's called me like a million times, but-- I... it's better this way, trust me."
"You never told me what happened."
"And I'll keep it that way. Love you to death, Tiff, but you just can't keep a secret."
"Hey!"
"Don't 'hey' me, you know I'm right. When was the last time I told you something that was supposed to stay between us and you didn't babble?"
"Well, I-- no... How about that time you-- no... Or when-- no... Ugh, fair enough." Tiffany crossed her arms and blew a stray strand of hair off her face. "Still, wouldn't you like to see him tonight? You know, one last time?"
"He's not coming, so it doesn't really matter, does it?"
"Right..."
"Tiff..."
"What...?"
"You told me Miles won't be at the party."
"He won't."
"Tiffany Rose Miller!"
"He won't be there, okay? He's not coming-- calm the fuck down."
"Sorry... I just-- seeing him tonight was gonna make this way harder. Like I said, it's better this way."
The rest of the way was pretty quiet, aside from your Yazoos and Starships and Cyndi Laupers. When they got to the diner, Audrey was already waiting outside; leaning on the wall, having a smoke.
