“This is really, really cute,” Rory said.

“The tie? I thought—”

“Oh yeah no. God no,” she said after a brief pause. “That tie... I hope you got that in a raffle at a tiki bar. I’m not even sure how that thing got made without someone throwing up on it.”

She started laughing, and then got the idea that maybe her friend was somehow actually attached to that horror show of an accoutrement. On the one hand, I’m doing him a favor, she thought. But on the other... I mean I’m attached to my Welcome Back, Kotter lunchbox, so it’s not like everyone makes the most rational choices all the time.

“I bought it when I was on vacation in Key West,” he said. “I went into something called a pie shop, and was a little surprised to find that they weren’t selling dessert.” He paused for a moment, considering his thoughts. “Or rather they were, just not the kind you eat. Wait, no, I suppose you could eat it, but,” he blustered to a halt. When Rory looked at him next, after emerging from his closet with four different ties, he was bright red.

“So you found a hooker hangout? Red light district?” she asked, loving the shade he was turning. “I gotta admit, calling it a pie store is fairly ingenious. So, how’d you like it?”

“The pie? I, uh... I mean, I had good pie, but not... there,” he started sputtering. “Look! I didn’t make whoopie with any hookers, okay! I just bought the tie because I needed to use their restroom and didn’t want to be one of those people who just go into a place to use the john.”

“That’s my Monte,” Rory said with a smile. “Never wanting to offend a hooker.”

Sailing right past the fact that poor Monte had managed to turn almost purple, Rory buttoned the cuffs of his shirt wrists, and wrapped one of her ties around his neck. “This one’s pretty good. The blue matches the shirt, but,” she scrunched up her lips and frowned. “Nope, won’t work.”

“Why not?” he asked. “You said it’s nice and I need to get going. I’m meeting Dora at Chez Justine in a half hour.”

“Doesn’t match your face,” she said, trying to hold back the laughter as she turned him to the mirror. “Those two shades of purple don’t really work together. I think we better go with a red.”

“Oh, damn it!” Monte threw up his hands in an incredibly overdramatic gesture. “I’ll never understand how you can keep yourself from laughing like that. It’s like you’re Bob Newhart except actually funny.”

A shadow fell over Rory’s face as she sat down and saw the picture of Monte, and his wife and kids on the dresser top. “How do you do it?” she asked.

“Well first you take down your pants, and then you ask the other person if it’s okay. Then you’ll take down their drawers.”

Rory smiled, but her eyes were distant. “You just said ‘drawers’,” she said flatly, and laughed softly.
