WHO: Chandler & @jamieatwater WHEN: Friday, April 24th -- 10:48 PM WHERE: Bootlegger’s Pub in Lafayette Square
The weekend had just begun. His daughter was in Los Angeles with his parents until Sunday night. Chandler’s gallery opened tomorrow evening but tonight? Tonight felt like eight years ago. A different time. A different world. He, a different man. No wife. No daughter. No soul that ached with the weight of grief. He was younger then, both in number and mentality. A glaringly obvious truth, as Chandler now stood eye to eye with a man from that time in his life. “Jamie.” There was uncertainty in his usually tempered voice. “I don’t know about this...” He’d agreed to be a good sport, but that woman was out of his league. This could only end badly. “Another round..” It wasn’t clear whether he spoke to himself or his friend. “Liquid courage.” Cushion for rejection, he thought but didn’t add.
