"Another drink, please." Toby placed a crumpled bill on the bar.
"I read somewhere that too much drinking isn't good for your health."
Toby didn't turn around. "Andrea."
"Toby."
"Shouldn't you be out there distributing the pork, wooing the important people?"
"Oh I would be," she sat next to him, "but it's just no fun unless you're around."
"What's wrong, Andi," he cupped his hand around the cold glass. "you've lost all your normal victims? You're feeling horny?"
"Oh Pokey."
"What?"
"You're so damn cynical."
Toby shrugged.
She ordered a martini. "Are you seeing CJ?"
He wished he could say yes, because CJ drove her crazy. Always did. "I don't think CJ's seeing anyone at the moment."
"I heard she was being stalked. It was all the talk when we got back from recess."
"Do we have to talk about CJ?" He didn't want to think about closed doors, or slumping shoulders, or eyes that weren't happy anymore. This was his 'off' time.
"No." She played with the olive. "Looks like I'm going to be reelected."
He stood up. "You always bring me good news, Andi."
