"Caravan" by Harry Connick, Jr.
The bourbon burned his throat. Dave didn't care. He closed his eyes, knowing he should stop. Knowing he should call a cab. Knowing that he'd have a hell of a hangover tomorrow.
He didn't care.
You promised!
God, there were just some things he couldn't get out of his head.
"Thought I'd find you here."
Dave looked up as Cooper navigated his way through the bar to his table and then sat down. Dave shrugged but didn't speak.
"Never seen you shaken up," Cooper commented and took a long pull of his beer.
Dave narrowed his eyes. He wanted to say, Fuck off, but he knew what this was. Instead, he said, "It will happen to you. And if it doesn't? You need to quit."
"Thanks for the warning."
