Eliot grinned and nodded. "Excellent choice," said the waiter, and poured the last of the wine into Eliot's glass before moving away.

Eliot looked across the table at Leo. "I'm going to tell you a happy story," he said. And then he launched into one of his favorites, about after he and Margo met at Yale, and they took the train to New York City and they spent a whole day shopping, but then they got mugged and lost everything that Margo had spent her money on, and also the Broadway tickets they had, so instead they just spent the whole day in Central Park and going to free museums. It was great.
