"You guys," Miranda said at the table in the restaurant to her friends, Lizzie, Gordo, and Ethan. "I have a great idea."
"What would that be?" Gordo asked.
"Well," Miranda started, "To celebrate our first year out of college and with great jobs now, Ethan and I were talking and we decided we wanted to go to Italy."
"That is a great idea, Miranda!" Lizzie said, "We are going back to Rome? That is so cool!"
"Actually, Lizzie," Ethan started, "Miranda and I were thinking like another part of Italy, like Sicily."
Miranda nodded her head. "Yeah, my boss has a house there and invited us to go there."
"Oh!" Lizzie said, "That is a great idea! I have heard great things about that place!"
"Yeah, that is where the mafia originated," Ethan said.
"Yeah, and he said we could use it for a month if we wanted to," Miranda added.
Lizzie looked at Gordo. "I think we should go. What do you think, Gordo?"
Gordo smiled, "Well, I think it is a great idea. What about work, though? I have flexibility being a director and Lizzie has the summer off. What about you two?" He asked Ethan and Miranda.
"Well, he is my boss, and my job also has flexibility and Ethan is working extra hours before we leave."
"Good. When are we going?"
"In a few weeks, after summer is official."
"A few weeks?! That isn't very long!" Lizzie said.
"Well, I just got offered the house a few days ago. Besides, you have plenty of time! Believe me!"
Lizzie rolled her eyes and yawned. "Alright, I have to say I am pretty tired and I think I am going to go to sleep. Are you ready, Gordo?"
"Yeah, Liz. I am pretty beat myself. Goodnight, guys!" Gordo and Lizzie got up and payed for their dinner, and then went to their apartment.
Gordo opened the apartment door for Lizzie and Lizzie immediately dragged herself to the sofa and dropped herself there. Gordo smiled and took his jacket off and joined Lizzie on the couch.
"Had a rough day, Liz?" Gordo asked, half smiling.
"Yeah. I survived my first year of teaching kindergarten. I can't believe this school year is over. I have taught seventeen kids how to read this year. Can you believe that?"
"Yeah. Liz, you are so talented, those kids were lucky to have you," Gordo said as he put his arm around her and kissed her on the cheek.
"Thanks," Lizzie said, "You know, this year really does deserve a celebration. A lot has happened in this year."
"Like what?"
"Well, I got my own apartment for starters," Lizzie said.
"That you share with me," Gordo added.
"Not according to my mom," Lizzie said.
"Yeah, well your mom doesn't know a lot of stuff that happens between us, and I would prefer to keep it that way. Wouldn't you?" Gordo said as he leaned over and started kissing Lizzie's neck.
However, Lizzie was so tired, she said, "Gordo, not tonight. I am so tired right now, I really need to sleep."
Gordo pulled back, "I understand. Do you want me to help you get to bed?"
"No," Lizzie said, "I think I can handle it. Can you just help pull me up?"
Gordo pulled Lizzie up from the sofa and took her to bed. There, she slept peacefully.
