Dinner and Wine
Danvers holds the bottle until he sees the woman and then puts it down as she approaches because he wants to free his hand
she kisses him aggressively on the lips pressing him back against the rail at the edge of the roof and his elbow nudges the bottle and the bottle pirouettes clumsily teeters then topples then tumbles
a dark window on the fifth floor
the fourth floor window is open to let out the smoke from Henry Beam’s cigarettes which his girlfriend tells him not to smoke but he does anyway because why not he might be dead tomorrow and hey something just fell past
at the third floor Patricia Gale lives alone and she is in the bathroom applying her makeup and hoping to do well
a TV lights the second floor room showing an advertisement for the same drink that is outside and if Veronica Kop looks up she will see this and think how strange but instead she is all oh my god it hurts
on street level Mary knocks on the window because she forgot her key and she can see him there opening a bottle of wine
