...Idek how this would work either honestly LMAO the egos involved????? But uh let's see:
Option 1 the ~Dramatic Option~: Tony was a friend of Jack's wife and they met through her. ...There's issues and hang ups idek, but Tony hasn't forgotten Jack got picked over him and as a last salute to Jack's wife Tony hangs around and makes sure Jack isn't getting fitted for a pair of cement shoes or a knife in the back. Or. Idk. Audited by the IRS he's been there it sucks, man. All this aside yeah you can bet Tony would revel in Jack having shitty days. It's the little thing you've gotta enjoy, you know?
Option 2 the RomCom: I think Jack teaches, right? Tony's editor could recruit him as an "expert" and force Tony to work with him on a novel to get all the details right. Cue bitchiest partnership in history coupled with massive drinking binges and writing while blackedout. The quality's still the same the readers won't know.
Option 3 Operation Normal Shit: they hang out at the same bar(s). Maybe play cards or mahjong or something together.
