A man drowns
years of loneliness and disappointment with a cold beer in the bar
of a waterfront hotel. His eyes fix on a woman while she delicately
sips a fine Merlot. He loses himself in her like a daydream.
He gulps his
last ounce of courage and makes his approach: she beats him to the
punch. She takes her wine out to the harbor, knowing he wants to
join her. In the marina,
boats bob and weave like drunken fighters while the man and woman
talk under the fading light of a warm Seattle night. She asks to
go to his room.
Through their
lovemaking they discover each other, his marriage, the burden of
expectation, her marriage, unfulfilled promise, and for both the
anguish of lost passion. And in the early morning hours, with a
baptismal shower they wash away the night. Or, who they once were?
