New Year's Eve
Charlie and Shannon had been expecting a crowd at their house for New Year’s Eve, but ten o’clock approached and still no one showed.
“Charlie, where is everyone? You did put eight o’clock on the invitations, didn’t you?”
“Of course, I did.” Charlie went to the counter for a glass of wine, when he noticed something sticking out from under the piles of papers. All the invitations he was supposed to mail two weeks ago, under a stack.
“Shannon, it looks like it’ll be just the two of us at midnight.”
Charlie threw the invitations out and gulped his wine.
