He looked good. Great. Better than I remember him ever looking.
His hair was well kept. Not the leonine look he’d sported once, but very much the respectable business entrepreneur.
It had been so long since I’d seen him. Actually seen him, you know? For lunch, or a talk, or just to be…
“Hi, Darren. Looking good, mate.”
“You too, Daniel. How’s things with you and Kathleen?”
“We’re expecting!”
His sunshine smile warmed me in spite of the pain in my heart.
“That’s great, Danny. I’m happy for you both.”
“Would you be the god-father?”
The pain eased.
“I would.”
