Benny, why did you do it? If it wasn't from the stress of being married to me, then why did you take the drink?
I figured if you were going to hit bottom again I didn't want you to be alone. It's sure nice having company when you're fighting demons, isn't it? I don't want you to be down there by yourself.
Wouldn't it be better to stay focused and sober?
Hell, no, Bridget. Then that shit will haunt you. This way you can't remember it much at all.
He hands me his chip for safekeeping. I turn it over and it says KEEP COMING BACK. I have a little mother of pearl box that I keep them in on our dresser. I'm not even sure if he's pulling my leg or if he really feels like he was helping by joining me in misery. Either way it reminds me that he isn't as tough as he sometimes seems and possibly not as smart either.
