Mitchum and Me

Three: Past

I slouch in my seat and rub the back of my neck before speaking. “Mitchum thought she was hot before I thought she was hot, you know? But the difference between Mitchum and me was that he was sober.”

She narrows her eyes at me. “You weren't always drunk, were you?”

“No, I wasn't always drunk.” I shake my head and lift my chin. “Sometimes I got high too.”
