Boy Toy
“It's weird to think that I can go there now, even when Rachel's working. For a long time now, it's been like the Narc's a church and I'm a vampire. But now I can go inside. Redeemed. Or something like that.
I pull in to try out my newfound freedom. I'm in the breakfast foods aisle when I see her.
She's at the far end of the aisle, but I would know her anywhere, at any distance. She's wearing a pair of jeans that are loose and baggy, along with a sleeveless blouse. Her hair is shorter an...d lighter than it used to be.
Eve.
And then I'm suddenly aware of my heart, with Eve standing ten, fifteen feet away and my heart starts to announce itself to me, to the world, pounding like —Xbox controller vibrates in my hands— dinosaur footsteps or —you're good at this one, Josh— the thunder of big cannons on a gigantic movie screen, in Dolby surround sound —come here come here— or ... God! Goddamn it!MoreLess
