In France the last drop of alcohol poured into a glass has a significant meaning. So much so that when someone is sitting at the table who isn't married, the last drop usually is reserved for their glass.
The last drop of Mumm's champagne, the cork popped loudly and shot straight into our neighbor's yard. The next morning he came over with a bag of croissants to question us, "A loud pop, a cork… laughter… What was the occasion?"
Half asleep, we ate the croissants around the kitchen table.
Chelsea was giddy all day.
Do you think it was because of the last drop from the evening before, or the croissants that gave her such joy?
