Chapter Forty

Aiden gazed out at suburbia, just past the fence in the backyard. There was a treehouse with a large sign that had NO BOYS ALLOWED splattered across it in bright blue paint. A long braided climbing rope stretched up to the entrance, and a pink and green ladder leaned on the other side. They could have this. The house. The kids. The backyard. He sighed and his gaze lowered to the deck railing.

He heard the door slide open behind him, and then close with a soft click. Aiden ran his thumb under his eyes, wiping away the moisture there. He wasn’t going to get caught crying. No more parading his weaknesses.

“I really wish I had a cigarette right now.”

Aiden relaxed. He couldn’t really hide anything from Jon. Not when the man had all his weaknesses catalogued away somewhere in his memory. The shorter man came abreast of him, staring out over the backyard.

“So do you want to talk about this, or do you not want to talk about this?” Jon said. “For the record, I vote we talk about it, seeing as talking about it is the only thing I can do right about now.”
