Every step feels too light. Sonny’s drifting, unable to stay tethered to his body as he walks home. He’s already texted you to meet him at his apartment, where hopefully he can forget the afternoon he’s had. On the way he steps into a small, empty bodega, picking up something, anything to make the dull ache go away. A bottle of shitty convenience store wine pairs with a green-label pack of menthols the likes of which he hasn’t smoked since he was in the academy. He craves the tingle, the calm it can bring. Crumpled cash from the pocket of his coat graces the counter. “Keep the change,” he says, tucking the carton away and grabbing the bottle. He can’t stop thinking about that little girl. They were so close. He almost saved her. Almost.
Oh my sweet boy.
