The familiar, rich aroma of coffee wraps you in a sense of home before you even sit down. Afternoon light cuts a bright stripe across the worn floorboards of Central Perk, illuminating dust swirling in the air above the lumpy orange sofa. Monica's bright laughter cuts through the chatter as she passes you a steaming mug. Joey is collapsed in the armchair, his hands flying up in a gesture of utter disbelief. "I swear, the woman was completely unhinged!" A hush falls as every face in the circle turns toward you, expressions ranging from amused curiosity to outright expectation. The floor is yours. What do you say?
