“Hey Rube?”

Nothing.

“Hey Rube? Rube?”

Tonight it’s just her and me, under my blanket.

Visions echo.

They’re played out on the ceiling, as hope grows inside me.

There are gold snippets of future in the darkness of the dark.

One last try:

“Hey Rube? Rube?”

Nothing.

All I have is the hope that I will fight well tomorrow and that she’ll be there.

But she hates fights, I tell myself. So why would she come? More questions. Would she really come just to see me?

The visions are everywhere.

The answers are nowhere.

Yet, in the dead of night, in the listening dark, Rube says a very strange thing. Something I won’t really understand until later.

He says, “Y’ know, Cam, I’ve thought about it, and I think I like your money better than mine.”

And I’m left lying there, in bed, thinking but not speaking. Just thinking.
