   Summary

   "..., if Dirk was still here-

   You aren’t going to think about him. You can’t. You pretend you can’t hear him in the way words hang on Dave’s lips, or the slight tremor forming in his hands that Dirk would insist wasn’t there..."

   or; dave and jake drink together and reminisce about the past
