After tipping his hat, the hat took their orders and went back to the kitchen. Pips let out a soft snort, shaking his head gently to and fro. "That hat's probably either your kid, or mine," he said nostalgically. "And here we all are here...at Scooper's. Stetdaughter and Stet son."

Pips looked tender and shy. "I wanted to tell you that I miss you, that's all, Tor. I just miss you." He reached across the tea table six yards to grasp at straws for the coming drinks. "But how did you know? It was you who invited me, after all."
"After all? Who else was there, Pips?" queried Ms Adore, idly scratching at a Lotto card behind her ear.
Pips had no time to respond. The box of juke came alive with a loud, chirpy, zesty tune. People all around Scooper's were tapping their fingers and snapping their feet.
