"Hey, I won't bite, and if I try to, it would be super easy to defend yourself against me", Aidan says from where he sits, still smoking. I walk towards him and slowly open the sliding door, then close it behind me as I step on the balcony. I stand next to him and he extends his arm, holding his pipe out to me. I hesitate for a second. I haven't smoked weed since before I got pregnant, and the only time I did it was with him.
Just when he is about to retrieve it, I take the pipe from his hand. My hand shakes while I take the pipe to my mouth, inhaling slowly and holding the smoke in, doing as best as I can, remembering the difficult task for me, yet so simple for others. When I give it back to him and open my mouth to breathe, I start coughing badly. I gasp for air and Aidan gets worried, not knowing what to do from his seat.
