1981.
Since your first summer up at Brokeback, a lot changed. Pete went down to Texas and started on doing the rodeos. Married a girl with a big farm equipment company. Had a boy. They sold that stuff down there.
But every once and awhile, he'd come up and go on Brokeback with you. You told your wife it was fishing trips. It wasn't.
As you were sitting on a big rock, smoking a cigarette and overlooking a stream on the mountain side, Pete walked over next to you. Sat beside you on the ground. It was obvious you were in your thinking.
Pete always had dreams. Big ones but you always said no. Maybe your wife wasn't your life truth, but your girls were. Pete didn't understand. Or maybe he did and he thought he, a secret homosexual, would get custody of his son.
"We should get an old cabin up here. Live in it together. Just us."
