Chapter 10: Farewell for Now
As the sun began to set, casting a golden glow over the city, the three friends made their way to their final stop. They chose a traditional pub, The Duke, a place with a rich history and a comfortable, familiar feel. Named after the second Duke of Grafton, the pub had been running since 1822, a testament to its enduring charm. They sat at a table near the window, watching the world go by. The conversation was quieter now, a mix of nostalgia and gratitude. They had seen so much in their short time together—the ancient, the modern, the traditional, and the trendy. But more importantly, they had reconnected, their friendship rekindled and strengthened. The Govna, raising his glass, proposed a final toast. "To Dublin," he said, "a city that never disappoints." Danny Boy and Stg. Salty echoed the sentiment, their glasses clinking with a satisfying sound. They talked about the things they would do next time, the places they would visit, the memories they would make. As they finished their last pints, they knew this wasn't a goodbye, but a "see you later." The memories of their Dublin rendezvous would stay with them, a cherished story to be told and retold. As they walked out of the pub and into the cool Dublin night, they knew they would be back. The city, and their friendship, had so many more chapters yet to be written.
