He considers what sort of toast to propose. He doesn't think Miguel seems receptive to some chummy salute to a new friendship. He wonders if Miguel feels optimistic about the future, if for no reason besides that it, being an unknown quantity, isn't the past, a known and sad quantity.
"To your work with the computers and mine with the sewing and carpentry. And whatever other skills and pursuits we'll dedicate ourselves to."
