Boy meets girl, followed by any of a thousand unpredictable outcomes. Alex and Tea first hit it off because of a mutual friend's exploits and adventures. That's not so unusual, but how long would the friend's life serve as a catalyst to sustain a relationship? And did their mutual friend really even exist?"Friends of Whitmore" is an engaging short story with an original storyline. There's no big buildup to an exciting finish; instead, it's more like a brief slice of life account of two people trying to find happiness. It's a good character study of Alex and Tea - two more or less ordinary people - whose relationship drifts along while they try to find what they really have in common.
