Noah
Sure as shit was.
Elliot
Dude, the entire city is talking about his miraculous recovery.
Noah
I know. Because I’m amazing.
Hannah
My man is a badass.
Noah
Takes one to know one, Han.
Jordan
Did you forget HIPAA is a thing?
Noah
Nah, he said I could tell you when he gave me the tickets and I told him my brothers were a bunch of nosy fuckers who would want to know how I came upon tickets to the hottest show in town.
Noah is a maxillofacial surgeon, and he has a track record of getting all kinds of random shit from his patients after he operates on them. It’s not like he asks for it—he’s a fun-loving, personable guy, and people are just drawn to him. And now we all get to go to the World Series, so, wins all around.
Jordan
You did good, little brother.
Noah
Fuck yeah, I did.
Elliot
Should we all go together?
Jo
Yeah we should!
Amelia
Let’s get a limo. Then we can drink all the beer we want and no one has to drive.
Hannah
GENIUS GIRL.
Elliot
My girl is the smart girl. I’ll take care of the details. Cooper, you coming with us in the car or are you meeting us at the stadium?
I wince inwardly at the question, even though it’s reasonable. Anything we’ve done in the past year or so, if I’ve shown up at all, I’ve come straight from work. But I hate that I’ve missed so much, and I don’t want to miss this.
