Matt walked back to his apartment cursing at Emma and Sean. He couldn't believe those guys had ratted him out to Emma. What did they care if he got some action? "F*cking punks!" he yelled over his shoulder. He passed by a familiar face sitting at a park bench. He stopped in surprise.
"What happened to you?" Lina asked staring at Matt.
"Stupid prude ex-girlfriend of mine has nosey friends!" he yelled over his shoulder again.
"Whoa sorry......at least your fiancé didn't dump you the night before your wedding," she said angrily. He sat down beside her. "I'm Lina," she said reintroducing herself.
"We met. I'm Matt," Matt said shaking her hand. "Anyway, that Craig guy was a wuss. You're better off without him."
"You're right. He had no spine," she said thinking back. "Well, you're better off without that holy chick too. Did you guys have any fun together?"
"If you call cleaning beaches fun," he said rolling his eyes.
"I'm more of a mountain girl," she said. He looked at her.
"My parents have a cabin....You wanna....." he said but was interrupted.
"What are we waiting for?" she asked.

"I'd like to make a toast," Sean said raising his cup. "Congrats to the two couples tying the knot. It's amazing that you all have loved each other for so long. To your lives together....."
"Cheers," everyone said.
"And to the magic of first love," Emma said smiling at Manny, then turning to face Sean.
"Cheers," the group said again.
"I'd like to make a toast too," a voice said walking into the restaurant. Everyone turned around. It was Jerry. Manny looked down ashamed. "To hope, destiny, learning to let go, finding the strength to hold on..........and to true love.......may it always conquer all."
"Cheers," everyone said confused as to who this guy was. He took Manny's hand and kissed it.
"I'm happy for you Manny," he said. He turned to Craig. "Craig, you're one lucky Son-of-a-gun."
"I know. Thanks," he said.
"Take care of her," Jerry said walking away.
"Thank you Jer," Manny finally said. He turned back and smiled at her, then left. Craig kissed Manny on the cheek and squeezed her tight.
"Manny, I'll always take care of you," he said.
"I know," Manny said smiling up at him. He kissed her again.
