CHAPTER 13

Guilt and regret were Max’s constant companions as he fought his way to sleep, lying on the former bed of the woman who had raised him, the woman who he had just defiled.

This can’t be happening. How am I going to face her in the morning?

Compounding it all was the sharp, pounding headache that relentlessly stabbed at his temples. The room felt as though it was turning slightly, and Max came to the conclusion that he had drunk far more wine than he’d realized.

Eventually, he did fall asleep. When he finally woke up, it was already late in the morning. It took him a second to remember where he was, and his recollections of the night before were hazy at best.

Was it just a dream?

He reached his hand down and felt around in his boxers. If it had just been a dream, then it had definitely included a climax. Max sighed and pulled himself up from the bed, dreading having to see his mom downstairs, regardless of what was the reality.

Instead of heading straight down to the kitchen, he stopped by the bathroom and took a shower first. The hot water was kind to him, but it wasn’t enough to wash away the deep-seated feeling of shame and guilt that was balled up in his stomach.

I was drunk last night. If anything did happen, it wasn’t really my fault.

The reasoning felt hollow in his mind, but it was the best justification that he had. Max swallowed his doubts and forced himself to accept it, not even considering any alternatives.

After washing up, he headed back to his mom’s old room and got dressed, using all of his willpower to ignore the dresser and the photo album. Then, he headed downstairs.

Kim was fully clothed and standing behind the counter, writing on a small piece of paper. It was at least an hour past breakfast, and a plate of sausage and scrambled eggs was waiting for Max on the counter.

He walked over slowly, waiting for his mother to look up at him before saying anything.

“Hey, honey.” Her voice was a little too casual, and it had the opposite effect on Max. “How did you sleep?”

“Uh, good,” said Max. “I was really tired after…”

I can’t even finish my sentence. What am I supposed to say?

“Yes, well, I had a little too much wine to drink, myself,” said Kim. “I don’t remember anything after you got home.”

Max nodded slowly.

“Yeah, neither do I.”

This is the easy way out, and I’m taking it.

“I fixed you a plate,” said Kim. “Just so you know, I’m taking today off packing. An old teacher of mine sent me an email after hearing that was in town, and I’m going to meet up with her.”

“Okay, Mom.”

“I figure since we’ll be gone by the end of the week, I should at least touch base with the people in the town who I do remember fondly.”

Max frowned.

I guess she’s still deadest on the move. That means I’m going to be starting over again, all alone.
