Brain Freeze

She draws on a tall fast food cup of cola, from halfway down and she doesn’t stop until she reaches the bottom, when she pushes the straw in further so that it scratches against the cheap plastic lid. Then she starts again, and her cheeks suck in as the final gurgle and burp of liquid rushes up the straw.

She pauses when she’s done, frowns, and holds her head. She winces at me in agony.

“Brain freeze.”
