“For years before Joe Serpe had rebuilt his life, he’d eat dinner there a few times a week. When he was done, he would head across the street to Lugo’s for an evening of Absolut and absolutely any woman who offered up her bed. The place was crowded, if not full. Maria, the waitress who had been at the café for so many years she was as much a part of the décor as the blue vinyl booths and the cheesy frescos of the Mediterranean, lit up at the sight of Joe. “You abandoned me, no?” she said with a wink. “You? Never.” “You sure you’re not Greek? I think you Greek.” “Italian, Maria.” “I think your grandparents, they swim to Sicily.” “Could be.” “Is so. I feel it.” Things had changed. Maria was a little older, grayer. The booths had a few more tears repaired with duct tape, but Maria didn’t skip a beat. Although Joe hadn’t been in for more than a year, her routine about his family tree was the same. “What happened to your head?” “Banged it into a wall.”
