A Toast

"Let's drink a toast to James." Tom said trying to regain his emotions. "I think James would really like that."
"I think I saw a bottle of Jack Daniels in the cupboard." Jill said not knowing why, but somehow remembering that was Tom's favorite.
"That's perfect." Tom said looking around Jill's apartment at the various photos. "James and I used to get drunk on that all the time when we were younger."
"I remember." Jill said without thinking as she reached up for the bottle, but then stopped.
"What was that?" Tom said from the other room.
"Uh nothing." Jill called back to him, but then was troubled.
"How can I remember Tom and James getting drunk one time really bad in Vegas?" She thought to herself troubled by the strange hazy memory. A memory she clearly couldn't have of her, or was it James, and Tom drinking until they both threw up in Vegas? It was so strange. It didn't make sense at all. Her memory had been almost nonexistent since before a few days ago, but she had managed to piece together a lot of her life from her diary and things she found around the house that just 'sort of made sense' when she thought about it, but this was a real memory. She quickly poured two glasses, drank part of one and refilled it. It burned, but it settled her nerves.
She walked back into the room with a tray, two the glasses and the bottle of Jack on it. Tom was looking at a picture on the table of Jill and another woman dressed up in slinky dresses at some type of formal party.
"Who's this?" Tom asked.
"That's Ah ?" Jill tried to remember who the woman was, but since she had never meet her and was in fact really James transformed with amnesia, she didn't know. "Time for the toast?" She said sitting the tray down and handing Tom a glass.
"Thanks." Tom said forgetting about the picture. "You have been very kind."
"That's what best friends are for " Jill said, but shook her head to regain her train of thought. "I mean, James was your best friend, and I am glad I could be here for you."
"Yeah." Tom said lost in thought, not really listening to what Jill had said.
"To the best friend a guy could have." Tom said lifting his glass and clinking it with Jill's. "I am really going to miss you buddy." Tom said as he drank part of the glass of Jack Daniels.
Jill drank part of her glass and got the bottle to refill it as she had always done in the past.
"I wish James was here right now." Tom said taking another drink
Jill didn't know what to say, so said "Maybe in some way he is here with us right now."
"Yeah, maybe " Tom said taking another drink and smiling at Jill.
