1000 Characters 6: Rose Rose hung the phone on its wall base. She wondered what to do next. Joey hadn't shown last night. She had not gone into work today. She had not called. She went into the front room, where she could see out the blinds onto the street. The road was quiet, no surprise. It was after the time people left for work or errands. She thought about going to drive around and look for Joey, but where would she go? She barely knew her. They'd gone on 2 dates. Last night was to be their 3rd. Maybe Joey had been turned off by Harry's lunatic rant at the restaurant? How drunk had he been? Very, it seemed, screaming at her about how she could have dated him and then claim to be a lesbian. But Joey hadn't seemed bothered. She'd joked about it, saying Harry would get himself killed if he kept up with that kind of behavior. Rose had laughed. They'd gone back to Joey's place. It had been a great night. She suddenly remembered Joey had not laughed along with Rose about Harry.
