The first time I had a decaffeinated conversation was months after at the Rain forest Café. My words remained understated and her ability to empathize still seemed hollow in my eyes. The smoky attitude she emanated lost its guise to a cringe in her eyebrows when the refried conversation of ‘us’ took its usual path… We started as kids looking for a rainbow on the railroad, but we’ve grown since then; and all we ever found was pebbles between us.
