Jordie,

It's been weeks. Are you still willing to call a do-over?

Simon

Quit blowing my cover. I gave you a perfectly adequate excuse for leaving without saying goodbye.

You did. I don't think Kaylee suspected a thing.

Wednesday at seven-thirteen.

Jordie has heavy, dark circles under his eyes.

He's sitting in a booth, smoking. A slice of pie is in front of him, untouched.

The door opens and Simon steps in, scanning the tables.

Catches sight of Jordie, pauses a fraction of a second, and heads in his direction.

Jordie glances up when Simon gets closer.

He exhales, and taps into the ashtray. "Ni hao."

"Wei."

He slides into the seat opposite Jordie, and doesn't say anything for a moment.

("You look terrible" does not strike him as a wise thing to say.)
