"Don't you want her back?"
"I don't think such a thing is in the cards for me, Tristan.What about this Jacques person?"
"He's the new favorite."
"She likes him."
He bites the inside of his lip."I don't know. I think she might be trying something new, and he's like a dog with two fucking dicks."
Motherfucker. I'm sure he must be.
"They're dating."
"That's news to me, little brother." He raises his brows.
"Dinner's tonight," I intone.
He puts his cigar out, stands up, and motions to the settling sun."Better get your ass over there then.It's a fucking dinner, Dominic.She's not getting married to the guy.It's messy between you guys, but don't let that stop you from trying to fix whatever you can.If it's friendship, then it's gotta beat this."
He taps my shoulder reassuringly and walks away.
I look out to the scene of buildings around me and contemplate seeing her.
Tristan's right. I should try.Friendship would be something.Definitely better than what I have now, which is nothing.
