It was Valentine's Day, but that didn't mean much to Clark other than how Tino had taken the night off for some big date. It was kind of cute considering how the guy never seemed to get out or talk to much of anyone.
So there was Clark, manning the bar and hoping no one would ask for anything too complicated to drink when suddenly Tino burst through the doorway.
"Hey, I thought you had a big date?" Smooth, Clark. Real thoughtful. Tino tossed a to-go box of Thai food on the bar and gestured that he'd be in the back, muttering something about Ralph and a
floral cock-block.
"Uh, okay. I'll just be over here!" Clark called after him, poking into one of the containers and wondering if there was anything he should be saying to make Tino feel better about his date.
