it started with a double windsor. a double windsor knot in my polyester blue tie. she said it reminded her of her grampa.
she sat down. through hair cascading down her face, i could see the faint flame of a newly lit cigarette. she inhaled like a french aristocrat. exhaled like it was her first time. she explained that after four years she'd never really gotten the hang of it. for some reason that was instantly appealing to me. i think her honesty got to me.
her name was emma. it was short for something, i forget what. her eyes may have been brown but the bar was too dark to tell. we talked about poetry and she made me think i was in love.
she lived down the street but decided she was leaving her boyfriend and that she needed a drink. the bar was closing. she didnt want to go home to him. i had nothing to do.
so we drove to mexico to forget our problems.
