Five's A Crowd

Imagine yourself arriving at a house party in the late '90s. You weave your way through the crowd trying to find a place to fit in, relax, find someone to connect with, and then you hear them; sitting in a circle surrounded by amused onlookers the 5 of us sit laughing, joking, and telling the best stories you've never heard. You're welcomed with open arms into the fold to enjoy the company of strangers, as the five of us become a crowd.
