Billy
The friend who calls.
Same blue blazer since 2014. Tito’s-and-soda-with-three-limes. Switched to Barolo at dinner — he held it up to the light like he knew what he was looking for.
Took a wine class in 2019. Tony gave him shit about it for a year.
Lifts the Barolo. Says “Tony, brother. I love you.” Slides the card across.
The kindest thing you can do for a friend is hand him the truth at the right table.
