| Like Daggers Piercing Flesh

𝐃𝐀𝐍𝐈𝐄𝐋 

I took a deep breath after swallowing my second glass of bourbon. The memories felt like daggers piercing the flesh of my heart over and over again. I hated that they still held so much power over me. After all the time that had passed, the memories still tortured me. She still tortured me. 

 "It's a little early for a drink, don't you think?" 

 I looked up at Antonio, who took a seat across from me by the bar. "You want one?" 

 "Fuck, yes." 

 I snorted and poured my brother a drink while refilling mine.
