the
waiter
recommended
the
toffee blondie
for
dessert
and
so
i
bit
.
when
it
arrived
at
the
table
,
he
poured
a
small
pitcher
of
hot
caramel
with
a
flourish.
i
scooped
a
spoonful
and
there
was
something
strong
i
couldn't
place
:
it
was
alcohol
.
the
sauce
was
laden
with
bourbon,
a
taste
i
hadn't
had
on
my
tongue
in
eight
years
.
the
panic
set
in
:
had
i
ruined
my
sobriety
?
