Susan flustered.
"What are you doing with that? We've been saving that for five years...."
Jerry grinned with a giggling response.
"Today... I guarantee those five years were worth it...
" "What are you saying?" Susan asked with skepticism.
"Today, I've been promoted with a raise!"
"Are you serious?" Susan shouted with excitement,
"Yes!"
Susan came over to embrace him with a wide hug.
"Honey that is wonderful" she replied.
"Yes. I'm now appointed to work on a special project over in Nevada."
Susan's face slowly froze with sadness. Jerry was noticing this strange reaction as she started to slowly walked back to the corner of the kitchen counter.
"Babe... What's the matter? We're getting more benefits than most people... and that's more than anyone can say in this economy... Babe... What's wrong?"
Susan muttered "Honey... That's really far away... Are you suggesting that we have to move?"
"Well, Yes" Jerry said calmly "I know we had some good times in this house, but I don't understand why you're so upset."
Susan spoke with frustration "The Burns!... What are we going to tell them? We have spend so many years with them as our closest friends... What are we going to tell them?"
Jerry's stomach suddenly turned upside down as he stared at the floor regretting the very moment he uncorked the bottle that they have been saving for so long.
It was now during the weekend that the Evans were spending time with the Burns at their grill out. Susan told Karel
all about the promotion while Jerry was the more quiet type just so that he can enjoy being in the moment with his friend and neighbor, Sean.
That night, while the Evans were sleeping, The Burns were up in the middle of the night trying to cope with Jerry's news.
"What?.. He didn't told me that..." Sean said sadly, "When was this?.."
"It was just yesterday he told Susan." Karel explained. "I don't understand either. I'm just as confused as you are. I'm sure they did not mean to do this."
"I know." Sean replied, "But it just sucks that they of all people have to go... Why can't the Hannitys go? they're a bunch of scripture spouting Fox News fans... I can't stand them."
Karel interrupted Sean and said "Babe... You're rambling right now... The Hannitys are not the problem here, it's our friends."
"Well, what can we do?" Sean asked, "We can't argue against Jerry's promotion, especially if that's what he wants."
Karel was grabbing some pajamas to change in from the closet while she listened
"We could give them a personal good bye party." Karel suggested
"Well, we had so much parties with them. How can we make this different?" Sean asked.
While Karel reached for a fresh pillow case, a few condoms dropped on the floor. As Karel saw these condoms that were recently expired, a rush of excitement gave a naughty smirk on her face and even a much racier idea in her mind.
"Babe... How naughty are you willing to be?"
