The friend responds I do not, we were supposed to go to Laura's house, but you know..
Alex responds Right, are you dealing with the news ok?.
The friend responds I guess, it sucks, I miss her a lot but I don't think I can handle it..
Alex responds Well if you're interested, the guys and I are going camping for the three days, do you want to join?.
The friend responds Oh yes, that sounds amazing actually..
