Things You Said at 1 a.m.
“About what I said last night,” Paul began.
“You said a lot last night.”
“I did. Early morning seems to be when I’m most free with words.”
“You were also pretty drunk. I think.”
“I may have had a few more than I normally allow myself.”
“A few more, huh?”
“Brent kept putting them down in front of me. I kept drinking them. He thought it would give me the liquid courage I needed. I let him think I needed it.”
“You didn’t need it?”
“My courage to tell you what I told you had nothing to do with alcohol.”
“You didn’t actually tell me anything, you know. There was just a lot of hypothetical ‘he said’ and ‘he thinks’ bullshit.”
“I’m in love with you.”
