Luke's, Thursday

"That's . . . an interesting choice."

Duke stared down at the plate his staff had proudly set in front of him, watching the handful of birthday candles melt.

"It's a fish cake!" Bobby said proudly. "Three layers!"

"I see that," Duke said. He poked the top layer with his fork. "An iced fish cake."

"It's tarragon mayo," said Greg. "Ali caught the tilapia himself."

Duke looked up at them. They all beamed back at him.

"Make a wish!" Ali said.

Duke bit back a sigh, and blew out the candles, to the cheers of his whole staff.

"So," said Bobby. "You're like, fifty now, right?"

Duke pointed at him. "You're fired."

Luke's was open and OCD free.
