They stop and stay fixed on her, when they used to stay on me all the time. I speak out, and he half hears what I say. Calls me darlin’, and gets up to get me another beer, but his head’s in clouds that smell like her perfume.
He call recite all of the things that he knows about her. How she graduated top of the class at beauty school, and the bar is just one more stop on her highway. She’s gonna go somewhere, be somewhere, and do something great. What about me?
He offers to help her carry the case of beer into the back room, and the bartop cuts a metal tattoo into my hand like a broken glass.
