Bridget had seen Saskia get drunk many times before.
They'd been best friends since grade school.
This was something else.
Bridget thought she should go lie down.
I walked her up the steps.
She's falling against the wall.
I got her into her bed.
Her body was limp, but her eyes were wide open.
And Saskia has no memory of any of this.
I don't remember Bridget bringing me to the room.
I don't remember her being next to me in the bed.
I don't remember talking to her.
But the moment is seared into Bridget's mind.
I just laid down next to her and I remember it so vividly.
Her whole body is so tense.
And I just kept repeating that and I could feel her tenseness and she was just out and I was just heartbroken for her.
Everyone was heartbroken and worried.
But on that day, in the thick of everything else Saskia was going through, any reaction would have been appropriate.
That combined with whatever medication she's prescribed, like, not going too well.
Marisa had never seen anything like it.
