Vincent beamed at David. “I know, and I appreciate that. Thanks, man.”
“You’re welcome. You know you can always visit my parents’ house on the first day of the Lunar New Year if things get too much to handle at home.”
Vincent nodded. “Yeah. Thanks, Dave.”
“You’re welcome. I know how difficult it is for you every year during the Lunar New Year.”
“I’m used to it.”
“Vince—”
“It’s fine, man,” Vincent interrupted and forced a smile at David.
David obviously wanted to continue with the conversation, but Anthony approached the table at that moment. Vincent was grateful for the brief respite.
“Hey, guys,” Anthony greeted while placing a plate with a generous slice of pie and a jumbo scoop of ice cream in front of David. “That’s for you.”
“Thanks,” David said before digging in and moaning loudly. “Holy shit! This is incredible.”
Vincent rolled his eyes at David. “Were you raised by gorillas or something? Chew and swallow, man.”
