For the past couple days she’s been nursing a little tremor in her hand. Maybe you wouldn’t notice it if you were to only glance at her, but when she’s holding a folderful of papers that rustle and whisper like leaves in the wind -- well, it’s hard not to notice. 

Hard to say what it is that’s made her shaky. Maybe she’s tired. Nerves. All that coffee to keep her awake. Shakes from the nightcaps that send her to fitful sleep. At least, she’s been afforded that grace period. People still talk to her like she’s a hurt animal, look at her with soft eyes, full of pity. 

Oh, that’s her. The one whose wife just died. Isn’t that so sad?

“Thanks for the invite.” Tries a smile as she settles beside them at the bar. It’s not a very smile. She’s sad and that’s probably why they’ve invited her out for a drink. Pity. She’s accepted because she needs a drink -- and because it’s a good excuse not to go back to that conspicuously empty house. She folds one hand over the other to disguise the tremor while they wait on their drinks. The bartender, sort of roguishly handsome, disheveled in just the way that you would like a bartender to be, has his back to them as he fixes their drinks. Hers, an old-fashioned, theirs? “What was that you ordered?” She can’t remember how to make conversation. Strange to think she’d once been affable.
