Bottoms Up

“We’ll get together again soon,” Mickey said.


“Yeah, I’ll come up here or you’ll come to Florida, or—”


“Maybe we could meet somewhere in between.”


“Geez, I don’t know, Mick… maybe in the mountains of North Carolina. Someplace like that.”


“Sounds good. I’ll hold you to it.”


They were standing in the foyer of Mickey’s condo, so they were able to share a good-bye kiss without unduly upsetting the neighbors. Chris finally broke off the kiss.


“As much as I’m enjoying this, it’s time for Mabel and me to hit the road.”


“Yeah. Have a safe trip—call me when you get there.”


Chris had purchased a cell phone during his visit, and it was already programmed with a Jacksonville number.


“I will,” he said, “and you’ve got my number.”


“I’ve had your number for years, buddy. Oh, you mean telephone number. Not to worry, it’s right there in my speed dial list.”
