Cai and Rafe clinked their glasses together, the sound sharp in the relative quiet of the room. Both men nursed their drinks, the warmth of the whiskey settling between them as they sat in silence for a while.
After they'd drained their first round, Cai finally broke the quiet, turning to Rafe with a raised eyebrow. "So," he began, leaning back in his seat, "are we wallowing in sadness over your breakup today, or are we cheering because you dodged a disaster at the last minute?"
Rafe shot Cai a sardonic look, his lips curling in a brief smirk before he shrugged. "Can't you just be a regular guy and not talk about your feelings?" he muttered. "Real men don't need to dissect every little thing."
