*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.*
