Maharet didn’t mind when she got drunk. Why, in every other memory she seemed to be refilling Jesse’s glass. And she always smiled so fondly, when Jesse would tumble loose-limbed into her lap, giggly and flushed in the face. “Sonoma is wine country,” Maharet told her, one morning when Jesse asked if she should maybe wait a few hours, maybe have some coffee instead, “Famous for it all over the world. You’re immersing yourself.” So she immersed herself. (It helped to be drunk. It made it easier not to think so much about what people might say if they found out about her and Maharet. It let her not feel so bad for not answering the phone when her parents called, because what would she say? What if she said the wrong thing? What if it all came pouring out? Wine made it easier for her to get to sleep, and then, after a while, she found she had to have some to sleep at all. It helped her ignore Mael’s eyes on her. It stopped her from asking so many questions that Maharet didn’t like. It saturated the whole world into a soft watercolor all around her. Edgeless and unreal.)
