Straight (The Dark Age)

Most of the time these days I kept my tea straight as my life, and my whiskey bottles just for show.

But today isn't most of the time.

I'd tried for so long to forget Ethan, what he'd meant to me once; those rare unguarded moments when he'd let me in as far as I had him, the blazing rows, the tender touches afterwards, the fact I'd genuinely loved him.

Seeing him again, it brought back everything I'd missed, as well as everything I'd hated.

And dreaming about him isn't helping matters, either.

That's why today, the whiskey's straight, instead.
