a few years later, paryy and McCarthy are having relationship problems
Paryy is sitting on the couch, staring out the window. He looks lost in thought. McCarthy comes home from work and notices his distracted demeanor.
Hey, what's going on? You've been distant lately.
I smile so how did you guys meet?
