“What is it Meg?” I asked in vain. She rolled over on her other side and went back to sleep. I looked at Jesse helplessly.

“She’ll be out for a while. You need coffee to sober up,” he whispered gesturing for me to follow him to his kitchen. He opened a can of coffee and poured the grounds into the filter. He poured water into the coffee maker and it began to percolate. The aroma filled the room. I inhaled slowly.

“I love the smell of coffee,” I said. “It’s nostalgic for me but I don’t know why. I didn’t start drinking it until a few years ago.”

“If only it tasted as good as it smells,” he said.

“It does,” I protested. He laughed. The coffee pot beeped. He poured me a cup and knowingly added cream and sugar.

“How’d you know?”

“I’ve seen you drink it at the diner. You have a sweet tooth.”

“Oh,” I said, surprised but pleased that he had paid that much attention to me. We sat down on the yellow vinyl chairs. The wooden table was scratched and worn.

“Why’d you drink tonight?” he asked sitting across from me, his hands rested under his chin.

I shrugged. “I don’t know.” I felt ashamed. “Everyone was drinking and looked like they were having a good time. I guess I wanted to try it, to see what it felt like,” I admitted.

He rolled his eyes at me.
