My lips twitch and my strength isn't enough to keep them from doing it, so I pick up my glass and take just a sip this time.
"One out of three is bad enough," I say with an ironic smile. "And only one of us was ever in love in the first place," I mutter to the whiskey, though I'm sure they can both hear it. I don't really care, anyway. People will figure it out soon enough, anyway. Gossip spreads like wildfire in this town. My heart squeezes painfully at the thought of her parting kiss, of her walking away from me and out the door. I deserved it. But it doesn't mean I have to remember it. With a simple motion, I tilt my head back and finish the second glass.
