Amir, Mike, and Rich strut up Madison Avenue, commenting on all the girls and women they pass.

Mike says about a waiflike girl with brown hair wearing a gray overcoat, “Doable. Like two a.m. on a Saturday night at JG Melon. With the lights off and she goes home right after.”

“For reals,” says Rich.

Amir is elsewhere. He has to be. Four months, basically. That’s what he has left. Until he goes to college, until he can find new friends who aren’t Browning douchebags.

And he knows. Some people have a spine. They don’t find girlfriends and break their hearts or whatever. And he knows: He’s not enough to have broken Tillie’s heart, exactly. He’s not that full of himself. Just did her wrong, really.

Can’t think about that. Hurts to.

“We going up to Spence?” Rich asks.

“Too far,” says Mike, and he ribs Amir. Because this is bro code. Rich doesn’t know about how things ended with Tillie, and he doesn’t need to. This is a brother taking care of a brother. And Amir appreciates it.

“Hewitt, then?” asks Rich, and Mike says, “Yup.”
