Duke replied then looked out the window. “Ain’t none of my concern, but I gotta tell you, it’s good to see you and Lee aren’t circlin’ each other anymore. Your grandmother used to say that you were two souls separated in heaven. She mainly meant you were both trouble and deserved each other.” Great. Duke went on, “She’d be fuckin’ thrilled if she was still alive.” I felt my throat close up. When it reopened, I said quietly, “Thanks, Duke.”
