Svante arrived at the Plateria restaurant a few minutes early. He sits at the bar and orders a Barcelona (gray whale gin, Cointreau, lemon, lavender). Svante wanted a few mintues to himself to think about how to word it, but Rati is crazy as hell. I’ll just have to come out and say it. There isn’t an easier way.”
The bartender looks at him, "Sir, are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine, just ignore me and bring me another one of these." Svante looks around the restaurant, then at his watch.
Singh enters the restaurant and sees Svante at the bar. He goes over there to join him. "Old friend, you started without me."
Svante looks at him and turns the glass of Barcelona up that the bartender just gave him. " Singh, you and I have been friends for a long time. Your wife is crazy as hell."
