Guilt and Innocence

&ldquo;&lsquo;I&rsquo;ve always loved you, and when you love someone, you love the whole person, just as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.&rsquo;&rdquo; Just a few lines in, though, a pause came. &ldquo;Do you really think dreams come true, Justice?&rdquo;


&ldquo;Maybe, they can,&rdquo; I said. &ldquo;Maybe they can.&rdquo;


&ldquo;But probably not.&rdquo; From the present to the past and back, hot, to cold, to hot again I bounced. Replaying yet another conversation that hadn&rsquo;t happened quite like I wanted to remember it, I practically put my head through the roof of the car when a tap came on the window.


&ldquo;Oops.&rdquo; Keith Kelly was all smiles when the window went down, his pudgy face red, a combination of the weather and embarrassment, no doubt. &ldquo;Sorry, JB.&rdquo;


&ldquo;No worries. I was somewhere else in my head.&rdquo;
