The midnight air was sharp, biting through the fabric of Amy's clothes as she sat isolated on the concrete curb of the liquor store parking lot. A bottle of cheap, harsh wine was gripped tightly in her hand. The sense of betrayal was a visceral sting—Bernadette and Penny had ventured out for dress shopping, leaving her behind without a second thought. She tilted the bottle back, letting the cheap alcohol burn its way down her throat to mask the emptiness. A sudden burp broke the silence, followed by a weary, jagged exhale. "Ugh," she whispered to the desolate asphalt, the crushing weight of lifelong exclusion settling over her once again.
