Adam hugged John immediately. "Sup man?!"
He pushed in, dropped the remnants of his latte in the trash, and helped himself to a beer. "What have you been up to, dude?" Adam asked.
John, after he got accustomed to Adam's mannerisms, found that he was an old college friend. A drop out who couched his way across America and was very into photography. They enjoyed the same science fiction author and had met in the library where Adam was drinking from an oddly-colored soda bottle and lecturing whoever would listen about his petition for the legalization of weed. Which was actually a fair argument ... if he had been giving it while sober. John apparently took a liking to the guy and invited him to drink, sparking off their on-and-off friendship. The on-or-off depending on whenever Adam found himself in town again.
After a few beers, Adam headed out to meet a few people at the park for some music and other things, but he wished John farewell and said he'd stop by again if he had trouble finding a place to crash.
John wondered whether making Adam and ... whatever her name was ... like each other would in itself change more than that.
But before he could think on it more, there came another knock.
