More on Hooking (2 of 2): Resolution.

So we weren’t talking, but then like 2-3 weeks later I ran into my one friend who “hooks” late at night at a club, and he was obviously on some recreational drug, but I jovially greeted him and told him I’d buy him a beer to make up for my making inappropriate jokes.

He spacily accepted, and I did that.

“And I won’t even make you go sit on the bottle,” I was like.

Fortunately, he was too out of it to really process that remark, so the apologetic gesture held.
