Black Coffee but no shower
The room was a bust. After kissing her and getting slapped, emptying a bottle a gin and an old bitty not leaving us alone, we left the boarding house room, got back into the car sat until sober'ish and the rain turned to fog, and the time said dwan but the sky said anywhere but here. Down the road a light was on at a diner, and we pulled in. I was still drunk enough but not drunk enough not to know it. She was easy. unbothered by wet socks or unwilling to acknowledge it. Her coat pulled tight as I wish ai were, about her, her gloved had and her ciggarette, all the armor she needed. indefatigable, above it all even me. "Listen" i start. "This Beach Cottage better be better than that flop house, or you will absolutely get no attention from me this weekend".
