Distance from the shop seemed to do Derek good. Root beer floats seemed to do him even better. By the time his float was a creamy soda at the bottom of a tall glass, Derek was almost back to his chipper self.

“So remind me what the plan is for Claire’s party?” he said, raising his voice in a question at the end. “We’re just going to walk up and act like we’re totally welcome there? Won’t that be really unpleasant for you?”
