Adam Russo and Bryce Action (HDB2 P3)

Oh no, just visiting some friends with my daughter.

Thought I'd sneak away for a few hours and grab a drink.

Stressful trip?

It's been very pleasant actually.

Then why the need to slip away?

That's a good question. I don't really know.

Family get togethers are always stressful.

Sorry, didn't mean to butt in.

No, no, you're right.

I'm Charles by the way.

I'm kind of escaping my family for a few hours, too.

Charles.

Yeah, and what's yours?

Charles.

We're both Charles?

I guess so.

So, how long are you in town?

A few days.

Did you bring the wife?

No, I'm divorced.

No, not at the moment, no.

How about you?

I'm not into women.

I'm into guys.

Older guys.

I guess I have a daddy complex.

Don't worry, by the time you hit 40, it'll be gone.

Then I'll be the daddy hitting on the young guys, huh?

Have you ever done that?

Done what?

Hitting on the other guy.

I haven't hit on a guy.

Period.

Well, as J.R.R. Tolkien said, "Little by little, one travels far."

I might be paraphrasing slightly.

You know, I think I'm probably gonna close up for lunch right now.

You guys don't mind if I take my break in the back, do you?

Not at all.

You two just take your time.
