Unlike some other people I've talked to, I really enjoyed reading this story. There was nothing very exciting or something tragic that happened to any of the characters, but to me it was real. Just some friends sitting around talking about stuff they probably won't even remember talking about later. Mainly because they had been drinking, but also because they're the type of friends who can sit around and talk aimlessly about anything. I think Mel and Terri had a strange kind of love, but love no doubt. In a weird way they were almost still stuck on their previous marriages. At least Terri was. Personally, I don't think the type of "love" Terri and Ed had was true love. That's just not how you love someone. Terri and Mel's love, although kind of annoying and abnormal, was still love in itself. They're the type of couple who can fight and bicker, but can still know in the end they love each other. I like Nick and Laura's love the most. Even though they're pretty much still newly weds, they have that absolute love. They're the kind of couple who don't even have to say anything but know they love each other just by looking at each other, or by kissing a hand like Nick did.
As much as I enjoyed the story, I thought it was a little jumpy. That would be my only complaint, though. The end was a little confusing, but it left me thinking and kind of making up my own rendition of what happened. I think they sat there until night fell, in somewhat of a stupor, contemplating what was just talked about. I think they sat there wondering about love and about the kind of love they had with their spouses. Eventually, they just got up and went out to dinner without another word about the conversation. That's just my interpretation, though.
