Ahhh this is such a good take for the ending! Bros over erm... ladies haha I love it. You manage to create a story that tells a greater picture, casting the first half in a new light. I can just imagine Garry meeting Eleonora somewhere, how natural it seems that he would have approached her, his affable easy way with people drawing her into conversation despite his age, and then the hint that maybe she is somewhat of a gold digger getting her comeuppance. She must have seen it coming, having agreed to meet them both in the same place, although maybe she didn't expect Matt would wait as long as he did, so either she underestimated his devotion, or she chose to break up with him by letting him see her with someone else. Although appreciate the twist on how that normally goes, the person seeing their loved one with someone younger and more attractive instead being Matt seeing Nora with a much older guy he personally found boring.

This becomes a tale of youth and wisdom, Matt still wanting to fight for the girlfriend who just tried to run off with some old dude in front of him, and Garry, although not so directly betrayed himself (although she didn't tell him about Matt) who chooses not to get involved in that. I really like that you end on the note of Garry taking Matt for a drink, more concerned with the young man who would let someone treat him this way. A great way to play the characters unexpectedly!
