⠀ shouldn't you be used to the humidity , then ? you're soakin' through ya suit , man .

⠀ slides the glass across the counter , making it stop right in front of the lawyer . " yeah , but y'ain't damp , kid . y'wet . "

⠀ do i look like a fuckin' motel ?

⠀ 'less y'wanna dab y'self dry with an old dish cloth , ya gotta keep suff'rin .

⠀ for a moment , eyes linger on graham's soaked dress shirt sticking to his chest as he undoes its buttons . he shrugs , turning && retrieving two dish clothes from the sink before throwing them on the counter next to the man's beer .

⠀ that's just the bayou air ; as hot as it is wet . he placed the second beer on the counter before the man , this time electing to stay . " pretty sure that client of yours jerked ya around . "

⠀ hey , * if y'mine , then blame ya ma . i've been livin' in this house ma whole life , you not knowin' about it is on her .

⠀ " born 'nd bred . " he proclaims proudly . " you do you , but i'm closin' in fourty . " cue him taking the first , empty , beer mug && placing it in the sink .

⠀ unkempt && grimy , manspreading on his sat - through couch in nothing but a pair of worn out boxers with a nigh - finished whiskey bottle in his hand ; he doesn't get it .

⠀ " ... unless y'client walks in , guess so . " he watched the man finish his beer before , in the wake of his question , pointing at a bowl of peanuts not to far to his left .

⠀ yeah , well . they are low - hangers ; he can leave if it bothers him that much . " protect you from some good ol' pure - blooded american life ? "

⠀ " lil bitta grime never hurt nobody . " he states , stealing the last swig of whiskey from the bottle .

⠀ he shouldn't be surprised at the man's thirst . from the look of it , there had to be at least two , three litres worth of sweat in his clothes . he drew him another beer , placing both it && a glass of water on the counter .

⠀ 'bout ten years . maybe more . time flies by when you're havin' debt .

⠀⠀ about . 'nless i wanna switch it up 'nd fuck some chick so her preppy lil' son can drop by twenty - five years later 'nd accuse me of bein' his dad .

⠀ do me a favour 'nd skip the suit jacket . ambulance needs about n' hour to get out here if you end up with a heat stroke .
