It all started with a single Facebook message.

After ten long years of no contact between you and Bill Dickey, that was all he had to say. So many unspoken words and he chooses to say that? Classic. Bill and you dated back in the days of the Eltingville Club. Things weren’t perfect by any sense of the word but, deep down, you could feel some sensation parallel to 'nice'. He reluctantly let you sit with the club (at the persistence of Jerry) and let you occasionally lean on his shoulder.

The fire had figuratively and literally left your relationship up in flames. He let his true feelings about you and all of his 'friends' be known. If he gave a damn about your declaration of breaking it of, he sure didn’t let it show. You managed to get out with only a 2nd degree burn on your arm, a constant of what once was.

Now here he was again. Trying to win you back? Who knows.
