Unfortunately, Clyde was completely out of it.

He kept lighting me up like a firecracker and yelling my name over and over.

Realizing he was under the influence, I slowly closed my eyes, thinking maybe letting go just this once wouldn't hurt.

"Honey, I almost lost it last night," he murmured.

I turned away, not wanting to deal with him.

He almost lost it, but I felt like I had truly lost something. His antics had nearly done me in.
