Re: After 6 PM, Opening Day.
Billy managed to look cool and smug at the same time. The rock star thing got him a lot of women. In fact, the rock star thing got him just about anything he wanted--except, he discovered, a new pair of legs that worked. He got that it wasn't a cosmic lesson, it was just the way things happened sometimes (they made him see a shrink before they let him leave the clinic), but it sure felt that way sometimes. He could still be smug about his former sex life, though. "True enough."
Billy caught his weight on his good leg and lifted up the cane to nudge Simon's shoe. "Go on and entertain your paying customers. I'm going to go find some convincing water to carry around in a glass so it looks like vodka."
