derek and louise and adam and constance were best friends.
they went everywhere together and had some great times together.
they especially enjoyed dressing up in funny costumes and taking each others’ pictures.
and going skiing, and going to the beach, and getting blind drunk.
everything changed when adam murdered constance and was sentenced to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary.
derek and louise often visited adam in prison, and put flowers on constance’s grave.
but it just wasn’t the same.
one rainy day, after a particularly depressing visit to adam , derek and louise stopped at a mcdonalds after returning to the city.
i think it is best if we stop seeing each other and start new lives, louise said to derek. you, of course, can continue to visit adam in prison and constance in her grave if you like, but i have a new job in columbus ohio and i am going there on wednesday. i am almost all packed and ready to go, so i guess this is goodbye.
louise got up and left the mcdonalds to go back to her apartment to finish packing for her trip to columbus.
derek felt very sad.
the good times he had had with louise and adam and constance were the best he ever had.
he wondered if he should treasure them forever, or if, like louise, he should start a new life.
