Instead of giving me a response, Jace shook his head and called the old man for another bottle of beer. I asked for one too.
If we both ended up drunk, I don't know how we would manage to go home.
I'll keep that in mind for now and drink moderately.
Jace seemed not to care, though. He chugged on his drink and didn't stop until he half-finished it. I slid the bottle in my hand to him.
"Have it," I stated, finally breaking the silence that enveloped us after I brought up Ryan.
I meant it as a joke. I don't know why it invited Mr. Silence all of a sudden.
Jace didn't say no to my offer. He reached for the bottle and finished that ahead before he went back for his unfinished one.
I got up from my seat then and ordered more beer bottles for Jace. I'll stay sober for the two of us. The old man continued to grill some meat.
