"This party is great!" A beer in his hand, Malik was appreciatively looking around. "We should go out more often. We used to do that a lot in the past. I kind of miss it. I could dance till the end of time." He took Haleh's hand and made her swing.

"Malik, I don't know what you're on, but you should cut it down." She was laughing so hard, she hardly could speak. "That can't be good for your health."

"Hahaha! Very funny, Haleh!" He winked at her and led her towards their table. Still smiling, the nurse checked the room and suddenly stopped dead in her tracks.

"Where are Luka and Abby?"

"What?" Malik frowned, wondering where that had come from.

"Last time I checked they were seated at the bar and were chatting. Where did they go?" She looked at where she had last seen them.

"Maybe they're dancing." He proposed.

"They don't dance." Haleh's answer was curt. She frantically looked around at every corner of the room.

"Maybe they have gone looking for a more intimate setting. I saw Jenny from OR and Devon from Ortho making out in one of those dark corners." He chuckled as he imagined them hidden somewhere.

"Let's check with the others." She rushed to their table, Malik close on her heels. "Have you seen Abby and Luka?" Chuny chuckled at her question.

"I think they left." Jerry informed her. He was still smiling widely.

"They left?" Frank nodded. "They left before the bride and the groom?" Chuny shrugged. "You have to be kidding me. I have to check that with Neela." Malik took a step back as she rushed past him.

"Wow, she sure is obsessed." Chuny smiled as she observed her friend.

"Is she becoming a stalker?" Malik looked at his friends a worried look on his face. "I mean, shouldn't we warn them?"

"Oh, no! Not yet. It's only early stages." Frank answered matter-of-factedly, half smiling. "When she'll start following them and checking their mail, we'll reassess the situation."

"Neela, I was looking for Abby. Have you seen her? I think she forgot her scarf."

"Oh, she has already left. She didn't feel too well. Luka offered to drive her home. With this weather, it was better than taking the El."

"Oh okay. Then I suppose she won't need it tonight."

"No, she should be quite warm."

"Shouldn't we leave too? I mean, this is our wedding night… and you have to get in early tomorrow."

"Yeah, we probably should. Will you excuse us, Haleh? We need to prepare our little speech."

"They sure left together… Who has a car?"

"Haleh! Have you lost your mind?"

"What? I was just checking, it's really cold outside. I thought it was better than taking the El."

"Oh come on. You want to check if Luka's car is parked near Abby's flat."

"That thought never crossed my mind. So who has a car?"

"Forget it. We're all going straight home."

"But…"

"But nothing! We agreed that you wouldn't think about Abby and Luka until after the wedding is over."

"The wedding IS over."

"We were thinking about tomorrow. She went home early, she has no reason to be tired tomorrow at work…"

"Oh right!" A radiant smile formed on Haleh's face. "I can't wait to question her."

"You bought them ten hours." Leaning toward Chuny, Frank whispered. "Let's hope they use it well."

"I'm sure they will."
