Well, okay, yes. It did. But he also knows it's a good whiskey, and he doesn't think Jake ever pays attention to the quality of his alcohol. So there's still thought that went into the gift.
His shoulders slump a little in relief. Another person willing to at least keep an eye on Steve, and he didn't even need to ask.
Jake is not a person for hugs, but he does hold out his hand. Handshakes are totally a cowboy thing, right? "Thank you. I won't forget you, ever. I hope you someday manage to beat my pinball score."
