Summary
Alice was the type of ratty Southside girl who smoked cigarettes and dealt dime bags and chugged beers with the boys. The kind of girl who’d probably show up at the home of her nice Northside boyfriend in the middle of the night because she had nowhere else to go. Maybe she just gave mothers a reason to hate her.
2 am is the perfect time for long stories.

Summary
She goes on her tiptoes so her mouth is hardly an inch from his. Her breath smells like cigarettes and spearmint chewing gum and just a little bit like lies. She moves closer and closer until it feels like she’s sucking the breath right out of him. “Tell me you miss me.”
He opens his mouth to tell her something - that he misses her, hates her, loves her, doesn’t know how to forgive her - but she closes the gap before he has a chance. Her lips meet his and he’s lost to her again.

Summary
She sits next to her boyfriend on the plush white couch and feels like some fucked up Norman Rockwell painting, still wearing her homecoming dress. If only she hadn’t left her crown in the Dodge, then she’d really look like something.
Their hands are held loosely in the middle of the sofa, but it’s more by habit than anything. They don’t speak. When her father leaves, she doesn’t rise. He awkwardly plants a whiskered kiss on her cheek and tells her she’s staying here tonight. She can smell the Cooper’s good scotch on his breath. As if he needed another drink.
The homecoming from hell didn't end when the dance did.
