Carlos had forbidden Gaby from seeing you, and for good reason. Your son had run down his mother with a car years ago. He was too young to be held accountable now, Carlos reasoned. You, on the other hand, had kept it secret all these years? That was unforgivable.

And so, you found yourselves cavorting around like school children with a secret. Staring at each other across the lane, speaking on the phone. Ridiculous plan.

"I have to go.."

You finally announced, guilt in your voice. There was a moment of silence.

"You're not hanging up."

Gabby points out wistfully, eyeing you across the street.
