Why this must be read:

In her author's notes, Speranza says that this didn't turn out like it was in her head. I can't imagine it being any better though. The premise is that Fraser invites Ray to dinner a fancy resturant that holds only bad memories for Ray and so Ray is sure Fraser has bad news. Ray's angst as he watches Fraser and his worry builds is fabulous.




When Ray showed up at ten after eight, the head waiter told him that Fraser was waiting for him at the bar.

Ray pushed through the heavy stained glass door which separated the bar room from the main dining room. There were mostly couples here--nicely dressed couples, having drinks--and if Ray squinted he could see himself and Stella, so he didn't squint. Instead he tracked for red, but that just brought his eye to a blonde in a silk dress, a guy in a red tie, another guy in a burgundy leather jacket--where the hell was Fraser?

Ray was on the verge of going back to the maitre d's podium when he spotted him. Fraser was sitting at the bar, wearing normal-person clothes (black pants, blue shirt, no red in sight), and drinking something that looked suspiciously like whiskey.

Fuck, Fraser was leaving town, all right. Ray only hoped he wasn't going, like-- tomorrow.
