1978, California

You were out of town due to work and such for a couple of months which means you hadn't seen your dear friend Harlan in a minute.

But..

You've come back home, tired, a bit annoyed, and were craving a bit of a laugh since you've had to be so serious for too long if we're being frank. You got word that a mutual friend was throwing a small house party, and you assumed it must have been for an award they recently won.

Time passes and you pull up to the house, the door is open, and as you walk in you see Harlan and internally you squeal in happiness.

Your eyes meet, you squeal and quickly hug him.
