As Cali left for the bathroom, Doreen looked around the room. Sheldon was going through her photo albums and Luke was just staring at the TV. Doreen silently wished that she invited her sister. She was glad when the commercial ended and she put her attention back on the show.

(OOC: Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I've been really busy with school)
Sheldon sighed as he flipped through the album. He was having a good time, but that wasn't why he was sighing. It was Luke's question. It had set him thinking. He flipped the book closed as the show came back and leaned against the back of the couch, still standing up.
He crossed and uncrossed his legs, trying hard to concentrate on the show, and not on his thoughts. Thoughts were good for figuring out how a dead person died, but then they showed up out of work and made situations he didn't need.
"I like the doctor." He said. The scene had switched to an autopsy, about which he mumbled under his breath. Making notes to himself about the wrong words or the wrong tools. He kept having to remind himself that it was Television, not real life.
"I'm going to go wait in line for the bathroom," he said. he stood up straight and walked away.

Cali stepped out of the bathroom and almost bumped into Sheldon. "Sorry. Hope you haven't been waiting long."
She saw his grim expression and asked, "You alright? You look like you could use a good joke right about now?"

Doreen fidgited uncomfortably in her seat. Cali was in the bathroom and Sheldon was waiting for his turn to use it. Which leaves her with Luke.
"So... how are you doing with your divorce from Karen?" she asked but the moment she asked she regretted it straight away.
"Oh man, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that."

Luke gave Doreen an 'It's okay' look, but felt a little overwhelmed.
"Eh. We are not divorcing yet, we are just seperated at the moment. Not that we think we will ever get together again, but we both don't feel like putting a lot of effort in it yet. We just need some time, we got a lot of things on our minds right now."
Doreen nodded. "But I'm handling it pretty wel, thanks for asking. It's good that on evenings like this I can just let loose y'know. And this week my brother will come over from Holland, so I got a lot of support."
He smiled. "How have you been doing lately?"

"Fine," she said. "Look, Luke, I understand that you and Karen are just seperated and I know that you're devestated and need some time but..."
She trailed off but continued. "But I was wondering if you'd like to -"
Before she had a chance to finish her sentence, she heard something broke. She turned around and saw that a raven had flew in the window to take some food but knocked over some plates in the process.
"Ahhh... shit," she muttered as she went over to clean up the mess. "Perfect timing."

"Thanks."
For a moment they both bent down and picked up the broken pieces bit by bit. It sure was quiet.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I'm fine," Sheldon said. He gave Cali a small smile and walked towards the bathroom door. He didn't really have to use it, he had just wanted to get away from the conversation, but now he had to make some pretense.
Then there was a crash.
"What was that?" Sheldon asked. He turned from the door, one hand on the handle. "I'm gonna go find out what that was."
Sheldon ran back to the living area, brushing his shoulder against Cali as he did. He stumbled foreword and fell, laughing.
"Woops, sorry," He said. He tried to pull himself up, using the wall, but his hand slipped and he fell again.

Doreen heard the noise coming from behind and she went to investigate it. She found Sheldon slipping down with Cali trying to pull him up to his feet. Doreen leaned on the doorway and smiled.
"Guess I should wipe the floor just now," she said sheepishly.

Luke bursted out laughing because of the sight he was looking at. Sheldon lieing on the floor in an unnatural position. Trying to pull a straight face he said: "I eh...I hope you didn't hurt yourself"

Cali grinned broadly at Luke's comment. "He'll be fine just needs to work on his coordination a little bit."
She turned to Sheldon and commented, "So this is why you wouldn't play Twister with us, huh?"

"Looks like your dirty little secret's out, eh?" said Doreen, teasingly.
Sheldon grinned sheepishly.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Doreen asked. "No cuts? Bruises?"

Sheldon couldn't stop laughing. It had been a long time since he had enjoyed himself that much. When he could finally breath, he grabbed onto Cali's hand to help himself stand, but succeded in pulling her down next to him. This resulted in a second round of endless laughter.
"I'm fine," Sheldon managed to choke out between gasps for air. He leaned against the wall, to annoyed with catastrophe to try standing up again.
"Are you all right?" He asked turning to Cali, trying to see if she'd hurt herself in the fall.

Cali tried to stop giggling long enough to answer, "I'm fine. When you're as clumsy as I am you get used to falling."
She smiled warmly. "Thanks for asking though."
For a moment or two everyone was silent. They were all just standing there collecting themselves it seemed.
Per usual Cali was the one who spoke first, silence was not suitable at a party. "So I've got an idea. Let's play a game of 'I've never...'. Doreen, what kinda alcohol you got around here?"
