I end up calling home and telling my parents that I am staying the night with Elle.

We continue to dissect the evening’s events over two plates of cookies. Ria joins us for plate number two, and she lets us in on a conversation she had with Elaine while they had coffee one morning.

Apparently, Brandt is a widower.

“Well, that explains a lot,” Elle says after Ria breaks the news.

She says she always felt something from his past was holding him back from opening up fully. Ria doesn’t know the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death but just that it was out of the blue and that Brandt did not cope very well with her loss.

“She hoped that moving here would help him heal,” Ria says.

“I’m not sure he has,” I share.

“No, not completely, not yet,” she agrees.

We end the night somberly, all curled up in the living room, watching reruns of Gilmore Girls, like we did when we were younger, until the aunts fall asleep, and Sonia leaves to go home to Ricky.

I don’t sleep much. I toss and turn all night, thinking of how painful it must be for Brandt and wondering if I made things worse for him.

By the time the sun comes up, I have decided to back off and pretend it was just the tequila and no big deal.

Hopefully, work won’t be too awkward on Monday morning. Thank goodness we have the weekend.
