You wish you could head back to the diner and see TOM one last time. Maybe finally get a nice hunk of that humble pie the poor keep saying you should try.
Tom always knew how to heat it up best for you. You wonder what happened to him, every now and again. One night during a routine visit you said hey Tommy, fix me a double tonic on the rocks will ya.
And he never did.
Dealer has been fixing your stiffies ever since. Not that you're complaining, you really can't beat the hard stiffy Dealer gives you. But you know he'll never be better than Tom.
You make a silent pact with yourself to never let that slip.
