With a loud squeak, the doors of the Metro City Pub creaked open, and a man in a suit came stumbling in.
 
The bartender, polishing glasses behind the counter, took a quick glance at the man. He was wearing a satin suit, with flowers still pinned to its glossy lapel—a rose, decorated with lavender. If the sway in the man’s step didn’t give away that this wasn’t his first drink of the evening, his disregard of the pub’s neon “Closed” sign almost certainly did.

“Two bourbons,” the man said, “one on the rocks, and another neat—no chaser.” Taking measure of the situation, the bartender gestured toward two seats at the counter, set out a couple of coasters, and got to work chipping ice. 

“Helluva wedding!”

“It certainly seems—”

“Your son turned out to be a fine man.” The bartender looked up, noticing that the man was facing the seat next to him. He cracked a small smile, and went quietly back to work. The man continued speaking in a warm, intimate tenor.

“You know, when I first met your boy, I could still hold Patricia in one arm. He was just like you—spit an’ vinegar, always making enemies and trying to play the tough guy.” The man swung his head and laughed. “Didn’t stop his soft side from leaking through, though.”

“You should’ve seen him the first time I let him hold Patricia. Had no idea what to do. He’d spent so long learning to fight people bigger and stronger than him that he was totally lost on how to handle something so small and helpless. So I decides to tease him a bit, yeah? ‘Hey!’ I say, ‘You better not fight with her, you hear?’ And you know what he said to me? ‘Nah, then I’d be a bully. Dad said to never be a bully...”

“‘That so?’ I says, ‘and what if someone else tries to bully her, huh?’ He whipped his neck around, looked me straight in the eye, and said ‘I’ll make ‘em wish they hadn’t.’ Hoo boy, that gaze shot through me like bullet.”

The man’s story was interrupted by the gentle clinking of ice hitting glass, indicating the drinks were ready. The bartender held out the first glass for the man to take, and set the other on the coaster next to him.

“Cheers,” the man said, and the bartender went about his work behind the counter.

“Patricia wanted to be just like him. Always following him around, begging for attention. It worried me, if I’m being honest. Much as I loved Alex, he’s not exactly a perfect role model. But honestly, I think it took him a bit off guard. He kept his distance, never getting in her way but also making sure she never got hurt. He followed through on his word—reliable, just like his pops! Gwahaha!”

“Anyways, at one point or another, he must’ve gotten sick of me. Typical teenager, desperate for independence. Especially your boy. Around the time he went to high school, I scrounged up enough cash to buy him an old pickup. He poured his soul into that piece of junk. Worked on it every day, too. Hell, he even slept in it more often than not.”

The man paused, took a swig of his drink, and continued.

“I...I wasn’t always there for Patricia, you know. Hell, of course you do—after the divorce and all...things took a real turn for the worse.” He turned to the seat next to him and continued. “She got herself into some real trouble. Always coming home late, doing as she pleased, getting involved with the wrong kinda people. One day, she didn’t come home. That’s when he—”

The man trailed off, and a pained expression crept across his face.

“When Alex found out, he was having none of it. After some yelling, he roughed up a few guys, found out where Patricia was taken, and brought her back home. Left a reeeal path of destruction behind him.”

The man’s knuckles turned white around his glass, and his other hand clenched into a fist.

“I...I should’ve done something. I know I should’ve done something. I just... I didn’t want to get in her way, you know? But Alex...”

The man’s grip slackened.

“Alex, man... He did what I couldn’t. Even though they’d grown apart, he was there when she needed him.”

The man’s eyes took on a shiny gloss, and he let out a nervous laugh.

“She’s lucky to have him. You hear that? You got two troublemakers now, and I have a son—the best son in the world!”

The man turned around as if to speak to the whole pub.

“You all hear that!? I’ve got the best son-in-law in the world! What more could a father ask for!”

“...Helluva wedding, buddy. I sure hope you were watching.”

The man lowered his head and spoke in a hushed voice, then clinked his glass against the one next to him as if to toast.

“To our new family!”

In one quick motion, the man pulled his head back and emptied the rest of his drink. Eyes closed, he took a deep, quivering breath, then stood up to pay. The bartender just shook his head.

“The drinks are on the house, sir. Congratulations. To the both of you.”

“Mighty fine of you!”

The man made it half way to the door, then stopped for a moment as if remembering something. Turning around, he walked back to the seat beside his and plopped the flowers from his lapel into the still-full glass of bourbon.

By the time the man finally took his leave, the bar had opened, and people began trickling in. Hushed conversations gradually stirred to a din of lively banter and laughter as the pub filled. When someone would approach the counter to sit, the bartender would turn them away.

“Sorry,” he’d say, “this seat’s taken,” and he’d gesture towards the flowers—rose, decorated with lavender.

The counter stayed empty through the night.
