Chain-smoking, I sat at my kitchen table in the dark. I’d finished the wine and was now drinking a can of beer, which was the only alcohol I had left in the house. This made me nervous. Everything was making me nervous. I took small sips of my cold can of beer, savouring it, knowing it would soon be gone and I’d still be wide awake, thinking about Elaine, trying to make some sense of what’s happened. I listened to the playback of Elaine’s and my phone conversation, over and over, studying Elaine’s voice, rewinding the tape when it came to the end. The cigarettes were making me cough but I knew I wouldn’t stop. I sat by the window and a cold wind kept blowing in as I attempted to blow smoke out. My beer was almost done. I knew there was no way I was going to get to sleep. I’d end up sitting in the dark, smoking, cogitating over the case, listening to the tape, getting nowhere. I decided to call Darren and see if he wanted to go for some drinks.
