Pour. Drink. Pour. Drink.
Door opening. Wind blowing, hard, cold. Door closing.
Pour. Drink.
Steps, slow, deliberate. Fire stoked, log added. Crackle,
burst of heat.
Pour. Drink.
Steps, slower. Coming to a stop. Slow, rhythmic tapping of
foot.
Pour. Drink.
Leather on leather, soft, tugging, slapping of gloves
against each other.
Pour. Drink.
Tapping stops. Gloves placed on table, hands lean on table.
Long fingernails dig into the wood.
Pour. Drink.
A sigh, resentful, despairing. The wood creaks as she leans.
A soft kiss goodbye.
Gloves picked up, steps, door opens, door slammed shut.
Pour.
Pause.
Glass thrown into fire.
