Whatever reservations I had before about Paolo smoking pot are completely gone. In spite of the pot—or, hell, maybe because of it—he’s locked into some other plane of existence, drawing upon wisdom and knowledge I had no idea he possessed.

Haley rolls her eyes, but she’s smiling. “I think we should let them stay, Daddy,” she says, as if it were anyone else’s idea but hers to throw us out in the first place. “These guys are sweet. And that one’s kinda cute.” She points at me, like Paolo and I aren’t standing five feet in front of her.

“Okay,” her dad says, subtly shaking his head, like he’s given up all hope of understanding the way his daughter’s mind works. “Whatever you want, sweets.”

“We’ve wasted too much time on this already. I want to go mingle with my real friends,” Haley says, pushing forward, her entourage following her. “Find me inside later,” she says loudly into my ear as she passes.

“Oh, um, okay,” I say.

They disappear into the crowd.

I exhale. “That was incredible, Pow.”

Paolo looks dazed, his eyes unfocused. “I think I just used all of my brain juice.”

“Saratoga Springs? How did you know that?”

“Sometimes I watch the horse channel when I’m high.”

Crowds of people start flowing around us toward the reception hall. We move along with the river of funeral guests, the tide pulling us toward large double doors. Live classical music streams out from the reception hall, underscoring our migration to the other room.
