No, Tom, I’ve had enough. I want you to leave. Get out before Lizzie gets home from school.
Please, Clare, don’t do this. We can work this out. I can do better. I will do better. I’ll stop drinking again.

There were no other marks so I felt safe believing I’d made it back from the bar without any mishaps. I got behind the wheel and pulled
