Things were tumultuous, but Frank was trying to live life honestly, as much as he could. Maria helped him with that, because she refused to take his shit. Billy helped with that, for the same reason. He was a better man for having them in his life.
He went to drinks with a quietly laughed blessing, permission to stay the night over if it came to that, and a single condom in his wallet. He felt a little like an idiot about that one, that little wiggly hopefulness that he wasn’t sure what to do with.
Billy looked good when Frank rolled into the bar, but Frank wasn’t surprised. He came over and bumped him gently in the shoulder, only half disturbing the conversation he was having with a pretty girl that was leaning toward him.
