Midge received a call from an old friend. They decided to meet for a glass of wine at a local restaurant on February 13th.
It was very cold and snowy in Chicago that evening.

Allan White: I was, but now I've transferred back to the states. I guess I just missed Chicago Pizza, and jukeboxes.

Alan: There's something comforting, about Chicago bricks and jukeboxes...and home.

Midge: I know what you mean, when I was in Malibu, I missed the cold and snow and the changing of the seasons. When Barbie moved back, and then Chris, well, I guess I just had to follow. Besides, now I can visit my Mom anytime. She's still in Willow, Wisconsin.

Midge: Maybe just one more---small---bottle.
Allan:I love the inefficiency of American waiters---and leaving us alone. What have you been up to since you are back in the Midwest?
Three hours later, and two 'small' bottles of wine....some cheese, fruit and lots of conversation. The 'old' friends venture out into the cold winter's night.
