What I got was them telling me it wasn't something important like receiving first place in a beauty pageant or cheering on her school's team. Let’s not forget the celebration they had decided to have on the same night because her little sister Celia came home and told them she had a date with the starting quarterback and captain of the junior varsity

    To me the only real reason the universe continues to exist is that there is nothing to stop it from doing so, if there was nothing to stop a person from committing crime they would continue to do so... same concept.
