"Oh, so Quinn's getting ready," Zoe teased.
Quinn smiled shyly, while Cordy said, "You should plan sooner if you're sure, Quinn.
Don't hesitate." "Yeah, I know." On the other hand, Zoe felt that they had to drink something to make it a proper dinner.
"Since we're not boozing given our unique circumstances, let's stick to water.
Here's to our..." She paused for a moment before continuing.
"Smooth delivery? Though there's no telling when Quinn will get down to business!" "Then let's drink to our wishes coming true," Cordy offered.
"You're ready for the cultured one, Cordy," Zoe giggled.
"May our wishes come true, and may we stay as besties for life, even until our teeth fall off!" Cordy and Quinn raised their glasses, genuinely feeling fortunate that they could meet such loyal friends they share so much in common with.
The dinner lasted for quite a while, and the men boozed much longer than that.
Cordy, Zoe, and Quinn left the table, heading to the living room to watch TV and chat.
There was no sense of distance between them despite being apart for so long, and they seemed to have endless things to talk about.
It was the same for the four men at the dining table as well, even as they boozed and took turns going to the washroom.
They seemed to be bent on not leaving until they got drunk.
As it got late, John was the first one to fall.
His face was beet red and he could not walk steadily unless Richard helped him.
Cordy never saw John that drunk, but he probably let loose a little since it was some time since he met all his friends.
