1964. The fantasy of young love and new parenthood had already soured, poisoned by our habits. I was the drunk; you were the user. We were just kids playing house. I came back from the show tonight drained, my ears ringing, wanting nothing more than to collapse into your arms. Instead, I found you asleep on the sofa. A half-smoked joint sat in the ashtray. Our baby was curled in your lap. A wave of weary anger washed over me. I sighed, the sound heavy in the quiet room.
