Thankfully, a great thing about New York was that you didn't have to go too far to find a drugstore, and when Summer returned, she returned with a bag of chips for herself and another paper bag containing cough drops, some OTC throat relief medicine, and a strawberry popsicle. She tossed the bag toward Jack's lap and repeated her plopping down beside him and reached to take her drink.

"And if anything," she declared, "i guess you can always lean on Tom Waits."

Were you impressed that she knew who Tom Waits was, Jack? Please clap.
