“I don’t care what you say to reporters,” I tell her. “It doesn’t matter. Nothing

you do can tear me down now.”

“ ‘Cause you’re fucking some artist?” she scoffs. “I know how that works.

You’re nothing without him. When he’s tired of you, he’ll toss you aside and

you’ll be right back where you started.”

She takes another gulp of wine, the glass more than half gone.

She really believes what she’s saying. The world is so ugly to her. People’s

motivations so cruel.

I could almost feel sorry for her.

Almost.

“You’re telling your story, not mine,” I say.

She sets her glass down hard, a little wine sloshing over the rim.

“You think you’re better than me because you stroll in here in your fancy

new clothes, ‘cause you got your name in the paper? I know who you really

are. I fucking birthed you. You’re weak, you’re stupid, you’re lazy, and

you’re nothing but a filthy little whore. You can paint a billion paintings and

not one of them will change what you are inside.”

Triumphantly, she picks the glass up again, downing whatever remains

inside.

I watch her swallow it all, my own wine sitting untouched next to me.

“Good,” I say, softly. “Now that you’ve finished, we can address what I

actually came here to discuss.”

She frowns, her forehead furrowing.

“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”

I reach in the pocket of my suede jacket, pulling out a small bottle of liquid

pseudoephedrine.

“I put these drops in your drink. Colorless, tasteless. You might have noticed

a little bitterness, but it obviously didn’t stop you drinking it down.”
