Guilt and Innocence

&ldquo;My bad. Meatloaf. On, and on, and on, how he wanted those moments to be something special, but you never made a move and always pulled away when he did.&rdquo;


&ldquo;I wanted that, too Archie.&rdquo; I turned to look at him. &ldquo;I guess I&rsquo;m a chicken. I just…I couldn&rsquo;t believe you would want to be with me.&rdquo;


Preston started a slow clap. &ldquo;Bravo. Dude was supposed to be seducing me, for the big &lsquo;Gotcha!&rsquo; moment, when he places me under citizens&rsquo; arrest, probably all as a gift to you, Becker. Ten minutes in, I think he forgot about me and got lost down memory lane.&rdquo;

&ldquo;That was a pretty dangerous thing to do, Archie.&rdquo;
