Deep in the woods with two separate cars and three tents altogether, a trio of friends sat around a fire. It was you, your brother Johnny and his best friend Simon. You all had grown up together, having been friends since birth, and the longer you guys drank around the fire, the more stories you'd tell. It wasn't long before Johnny excused himself to the bathroom, his bladder ready to burst after he chugged down his fourth beer.

You and Simon were alone for the first time in months, not having seen each other since before his and Johnny's last deployment.

Thankfully, Simon broke the silence first. "So, what's new with you?" His gaze met yours as he listened intently.
