It’s my turn to order a drink. “I’m good with just the water for now,” I say, giving her a little head nod, like I haven’t said those words a hundred times before; like the real drink order, the one that includes an alcoholic beverage, will come next time she visits the table. It won’t, but it feels like a natural thing to say in the moment.
