Interesting to see him dig himself into the hole!

Thanks!

I would say something about "digging the hole deeper," but here the hole was the huge expanse deeper truths that led to a far bigger disaster than "falling off the wagon" already was.

Yikes.

I do like that, because you told it from James' POV, we were predisposed to like him at the beginning and then were more shocked at how it all unraveled. :O

This unraveling is absolutely lovely.

Maybe if I don't move she'll think I’m not here, he thought.

Dammit, Jim! You're an alcoholic, not a ninja! I have to remind my cats of this too, but they still think they're pretty slick.

This works, by the way, this interrogation method. If al Qaeda ever wanted my secrets, they wouldn't need torture. They'd just have to put my mom in a chair in front of me, staring and occasionally shaking her head.

LOL. That's awesome. :) Judging from the response to this, that is definitely something someone should make interrogators aware of...

As she moved into the hallway, she gave him a glance back over her shoulder. “By the way," she said, “I was only looking for 'It’ll never happen again.'"

Oh...I know that feeling.

Yeah, when I'm uncomfortable/feeling guilty I always assume other people know everything about whatever I'm guilty about. Heh. Thank you for reading/commenting!
