“What are you doing later? Drinking heavily?”

“Yes. You?”

“Don’t you love how I invite myself over?”

“Cocktail menu: Pomegranate Martini, Bichon Frise, Boheme, and my newest, Deal Breaker. Do you have aperol? An hour? Anytime you need.”

“No aperol. Lemons, vodka, the usual. Around 6pm? Too late?”

“Perfect. Bring nothing.”
