“Unfortunately for Mrs. Montgomery, she had to be home for her family at four-thirty in the afternoon. You see, she had dinner to cook, and ballet lessons, and football practice. Normal life stuff. But, instead, my grandfather ran into her head-on and killed her instantly.”

Noble heaved a breath as he worked up the emotional energy to finish the story. He glanced at Tristan’s face. His eyes were wide and emotional, but he remained silent.

“It’s kind of ironic,” Noble continued, “the person I despised most in the world had to be the one to take away the one I loved the most. So, the day he was convicted, I packed my shit and hightailed it off the reservation and never looked back.”

“You dropped out of school? How old were you?” Tristan’s voice cracked with emotion.

“Sixteen.” He gave a sarcastic laugh. “Don’t get any big ideas. It’s taken this long and your mom’s help to figure out I’m dyslexic.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

Tristan nodded, but still seemed caught up in the history of the story he’d just heard. “So, where’d you go? What’d you do?”

Cried. Hurt. “Hitchhiked my way to Texas. I worked odd jobs and was poor as shit. Eventually I met Jed, he’s my best friend. We learned to tattoo together and I started the life I have now.” He’d save the kid from the unsavory details of being destitute.

But, strangely enough, nothing he’d told the kid brought him near the amount of pain it used to. It was all sort of a dull ache now.

“Hmmm. That’s rough.” He studied Noble’s eyes. “So, why’d you tell me all this?”
