"Good morning Ms. Wings," Tess said coming into Monica's room. Monica yawned and opened her eyes.
"Hi," she said. Just then Tess noticed the huge bouquet of flowers.
"Where did these come from," she asked
"J-just a friend," Monica told Tess
"Uh-huh and I'm just a moron who doesn't know when my best friend is lying. Some guy has a crush on you"
"Well he's not exactly some guy. He's… more then some guy"
Tess went over and read the card. Her eyes rose shot the top of her forehead.
"Are you serious," she asked Monica
"You see the card"
"Why the flippity jibbed didn't you tell Andrew and I about this Ms. Wings"
"Because," Monica said, "I know how relationship changes when things change. You and Andrew are my best friends and I didn't want you to feel like anything would change between us"
"What do you mean Monica," Tess asked gently.
"This particular friend of mine," Monica began, "and I… before he got promoted we were the best of friends"
"I remember that"
"Well one day after he got promoted, it must have been about two years later he asked me why I was so quiet around Him and I said quietly, "we're different now"
"What did he say?"
"He said we've always been different and I was like but you could… I couldn't even say anything more. Things had changed so much and then do you know what he said"
"Knowing Him I'll bet it was something profound"
"Yeah real profound," Monica said laughing, "He said, "I could also eat banana's with my toes"
"Why would he want to eat bananas with His toes," Tess asked confused
"He wouldn't. That's exactly the point"
"Okay I'm confused," Tess admitted
"In other words just because you can do something doesn't mean that you will and just cause you can do something doesn't mean you want to. I want you to know that just because I can do certain things or will be able to, does not mean I will. You guys are my best friends. I don't ever want you to think that will change."
Tess just pulled her friend into a hug.
"Thank you Monica," she said, "that means a lot to me. Now we need to get to our assignments. Mine is a guy named Mac and his niece Robin. I'll see you tonight."
