After graduation, one became a lawyer and the other a judge, and with their lines of work, they still saw each other fairly often.
During the four years he was apart from Jamie, Ben often met up with Caden for drinks, finding it a small comfort for the ache he carried. Their friendship ran deep, and lending some cash was no big deal.
“Alright, I'll just come out with it. Could you lend me $20,000?” Caden asked. “But I’ll need it in cash. Let’s meet at the bar tonight, and you can bring it with you.”
“Why cash? A transfer would be a lot easier.” Ben’s curiosity was piqued.
After a pause, Caden explained, “It’s for my grandma. She’s in her eighties, doesn’t read, doesn’t have a phone, and trusts cash only. I owe you one, buddy.”
“Alright, old place tonight,” Ben agreed, thinking he could use a drink himself.
He withdrew the cash from a nearby bank, placed it in a small paper bag, and drove to their usual bar. Over the years, he had come here often enough to be familiar with the staff.
The moment he walked in, a woman in a fitted dress carrying a drink approached him. “Mr. Lucas, good to see you! We just brought in some new cocktails. Would you like to try one?”
“No, thanks.” Ben didn’t even spare her a glance.
Undeterred, she moved closer. “Well, what about a fruit platter on the house? And if I’m not your type, we have some new girls here tonight, each with their own unique charm. I can set something up for you.”
