I know men who come together to taste wine when actually all they want to do is speak about their pain.

I know a couple where one drinks reluctantly as the other falls deeper into the hole, for a brief moment they fall together and in that moment they see each other, but it is only for a moment.

I know a past self that opened and closed the bottle again and again until he could smell the smell of nothing permeating the air.
