Wayne choked on his drink and coughed for several seconds. That was going in the list of "things I never expected to hear Justin say while sober, in front of people, in a public place."
"Christ almighty," Wayne gasped when he stopped coughing. "Give a guy a heads up when you're gonna come out, will ya? Tequila is not to be inhaled." He gave Justin a wide grin and clapped him on the back.
"See? I told you it'd get easier to say."
He then remembered there were other people at the table, and blanched. Wait, had Justin done that on purpose? Shit. Wayne was sure that Ernie and Hannah would be okay with it, but he'd seen Justin as a lot more paranoid than that.
