KENNY

If I could have, I would’ve locked myself into a room just to scream until my voice gave up on me. But I couldn’t.

Not today. Not yet.

On our cab ride , a much more sober one than the last time around, Vicky sat next to me, still as a statue, with her arms crossed against her chest.

She continued to stare out the window like she was hunting for answers, for a clue, or maybe a solution out of the mess we’d made. Maybe she just thought I’d disappear if she looked away long enough.

We both knew what had happened. We were married. Husband and wife. Accidental ones, but nevertheless bound in a certain way.

Happily drunk, we had tied a knot that neither of us intended. Amid the hungover haze of that decision, we sat in silence and each tried to wrap our head around the noose we’d made around our necks.

It was terrifying for us both. I tapped my feet and, with every few seconds that passed, kept reminding myself that there were worse circumstances, that I would be able to figure this one out.

“How far are we from the lake?” she asked, her face stoic. Vicky’s arms were still crossed and she was in no mood to joke around, only to say anything other than what was really on her mind.

“Did we have sex last night?” she asked without bothering to lower her voice. I glanced at the back of our driver, whose head had turned just a tad bit upon hearing her question. I could tell that he was as interested as Vicky to hear my response.

“We didn’t,” I shook my head and met her gaze.

“How do you know?” She shrugged, her shoulders heavy with a weight I could well-imagine. “You say, ‘We didn’t,’ but how could you know otherwise if you don’t remember? Like how you didn’t remember stealing your brother’s engagement ring and then marrying me?”

The driver coughed, and coughed, and coughed again.

I wanted to ask if I could get him some water, but I really couldn’t give a fuck. He could choke on our private conversation for all I cared.

“But I did remember that. Yes? Right. It took me a moment, but I remember everything now.” I said it with confidence because it was the truth. There was slight irritation in my voice as I continued, although I knew it didn’t rightly belong being tossed Vicky’s way.

“For example, I do recall telling you that you needed to be sober for sex.”

She smirked, lifted her arms before slamming them down on her legs. “Really? I’m supposed to believe that? So, you’re saying that I wanted to have sex with you and you didn’t?”

“That’s not what I said,” I retorted. “I did want to. But it wasn’t the right time.”

Her smirk turned into laughter. “And you’re also saying that you wanted me to be sober for sex, but it was okay to marry me drunk?”

I looked down and covered my eyes. I didn’t have the answers or patience for her questions.
