Chapter 23

“The only fight Gary and I ever had begun over a suit. He said I needed it to go on television with him, I said I couldn’t take his money. I behaved like such a goof. I was already living in a house he paid for, with furniture he bought and had a car sitting in the driveway that he gave me and I made a fuss over a stupid suit. He was so angry he couldn’t even stay in the house with me. He went home to Princeton and didn’t call me for two days. Those two days were the worst days in my life. Thank God, I had these guys to set me straight.” It seemed that Danny got tears in his eyes just thinking about it.

Davey’s eyes circled the table. He had made seven friends tonight. So far, he felt closest to Brian and Greg. Brian seemed to understand what he’d been through more so than the others. As far as Greg was concerned he thought Greg was as meticulous as he was; Harry called it prissy.
