At Caffè Vivaldi, Archie asked me if I knew Dante's definition of hell.
I sipped my cappuccino. "Give me a minute," I said.
"Proximity without intimacy," he said.
"Listen, Dante." I was going to remind him about Jamie, but instead I said, "I just don't feel that way about you."
He said, "Spare me the juvenalia."
