I'm not funny, he said to Anna.
I hope that's all right.
She laughed and told him not to be so certain.
They talked the rest of the night.
When he told her he didn't drink, she gave him a warm can of ginger ale from her purse so he'd have something to hold.
As the party thinned out, he felt confident enough to ask if he could call her
perhaps because he was so clear-headed without his usual four glasses of whiskey.
She smiled and shook her head, taking out her phone and asking for his number.
I'll call you, she said.
Forty years later, and they were in the Irish countryside, him cursing nervously under his breath as she navigated their rental car down a single-lane road along a cliff with a thousand-foot drop.
Above them were hills of bare stone with rams looking down on them like warning spirits.
Water flowed down the mountain, forming little streams in their path.
He took the name of every god in vain as she forwarded them.
But behind his cartoonish fear, he was in awe.
By then, his last life was all but forgotten.
whiffs of it only occasionally creeping up in him like parts of a dream.
As Anna laughed and slowed the car so they could gaze out at the fields below, dappled with sun and rain, he grew quiet.
In that moment, he was surprised by a regret he didn't understand, a sweet sadness at the notion that there was a time before this time.
before their arrival in this small automobile, its engines struggling, some other time when this treacherous road had existed without them.
