up. I continue to drink and observe.

One of the crew, an older man, stops by the table to start picking up the numerous discarded shot glasses. He doesn’t look at me. I can see his hands nearly shaking as he is forced to get closer to where I’m sitting.

“Is it hard to work this late?” I ask quietly. He nearly jumps, but doesn’t dare to make eye contact.

“Um, no, sir. Not exactly.” He scratches at his neck. “A little bit, maybe. I have a daughter and son at home. They’re at school during the day and I get home after they’re asleep.”

I sip on a few fingers of vodka poured over ice as I examine the man. He’s thin, wrinkled, with the slightest paunch hanging over his belt. His eyes are drawn tight with exhaustion.

“What is your name?”

“Roberto, sir.”

“Are you married, Roberto?”

He nods emphatically. “Yes, sir. We celebrated our twenty-sixth anniversary a month ago.”

I take another sip. “Do you love your wife?”

A blush rises into his cheeks. “Yes, of course. She’s a good person, she’s good to me, she’s good to our kids.”

I look straight into his face. He is trembling. I wonder what he thinks I will do to him. I toy with the clasp of my watch before I ask him, “Aren’t you sick and tired of her pussy, Roberto?”

The color drains from his face immediately. He clears his throat like he’s fumbling for words, but when he draws himself up and speaks again, there’s a haughty pride in his voice. An undercurrent of strength beneath the fear. “I don’t need to go around sleeping with other women to boost my ego.”

“Is that what you think I do?” I ask. It was meant to be a joke, but there’s too much alcohol in my system to stop the sharp, icy edges from stabbing through.

The bravery that Roberto showed a moment before disappears in an instant. His hands start to quiver enough that the shot glasses clatter against each other.

Pity. I almost respected him for a moment there.

“I’m so, so sorry, sir. I didn’t mean it like that. I just meant that … when I was younger, I might have done that and if I—”

“Do you think I am beneath you, Roberto?”

“Of course not. Oh God. No. Sir, I’m sorry. Sometimes, it’s just so late when I work, my mouth tends to get ahead of itself and I say things that I don’t—”

“You should go,” I cut him off. “Take your coworkers with you. You can come back in an hour.”

“Yes, sir, absolutely. Again, I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean anything by it.”

He hurries away, stopping briefly to talk to his two coworkers before they all leave.

Not a single one of them looks back.

And when they’re gone, I am alone.
