I’m sorry I told all the neighbourhood kids

you were left on our doorstep by aliens.

ONE

His eyes remind Finn of cola – deep, caramel brown, fizzing with bubbles that burst at the surface. He has Prince Charles’s ears and a mole on the left side of his jaw, but he is tall and lanky, the type of guy who gets a lot of “Play any basketball?” and hates it because he never played basketball, just hockey, and never as well as he wanted to. Finn knows he’s married before he even crosses the bar to talk to her, all arms and legs in a suit, shimmying between the sweaty after-workers in their four-beer euphoria leaning back precariously in their wooden chairs. Something about the way he walks, it’s clear he has a back-up plan: he can go home to someone else if he really has to. Not that it matters to Finn – she just needs someone to help her make up for lost time. She has until nine the next morning, when her plane takes her home to Thunder Bay, to transform her life into something she’s not acutely ashamed of.
