Chapter 24: Green
Green water ran off both of us onto the kitchen tile, and he had my back against the refrigerator door.
We were wet to the thighs from the Forsyth Park fountain, which the city dyes the color of a shamrock every seventeenth of March.
He had lifted me over the rim in front of two thousand people, and I had kicked my shoes into the middle of it.
A stranger in a leprechaun hat had filmed the whole thing.
I didn't care who had.
My new ring flashed on my left hand where I held the back of his neck, a worn gold band with a small blue sapphire.
I had picked it out of a pawnshop case on Broughton Street that afternoon, and I had paid for it with the hat money.
"Two hundred and ten dollars," I said, between kisses. "I paid it myself."
"I know. You told me four times."
"I want you to be proud of me."
"I am," he said against my throat. "I'm so proud of you I can't stand up straight."
"Then take your clothes off."
He took my face in his hands and kissed me, deep and hot, and tasted of beer and the cold night.
I pulled his wet shirt up over his head, and it landed on the floor with a slap.
His skin was cold from the fountain and burning underneath.
I slid my palms over his chest and the scar and the gray hair, and he groaned and pushed me harder against the fridge.
"Dress," he said.
"Off."
He undid the zip in the back and peeled the wet cotton off my shoulders and down.
It fell around my feet in a green puddle.
I stood in front of the refrigerator in my underwear, shivering.
"You're cold," he said.
"Warm me up."
He opened the freezer door beside my head.
I heard the ice tray crack.
"What are you doing?"
"You said bring nothing," Brendan said, with a smile that was all in his eyes. "I brought ice."
He held a cube against the hollow of my throat.
I gasped, and he drew it down slowly between my breasts, leaving a bright cold trail, and over my stomach.
