Hidden in a toolbox, in the rafters of his four-car garage, was an envelope full of pictures taken by a private detective...They were pictures of a scrawny, boyish looking nine year old with a wide mouth and a tangle of brown hair...Her eyes were oblong and deep set, their color hidden from the camera by the slant of the sun. The angles and planes of her face were oddly beautiful just then, in that moment, frozen on Kodak paper. A hint of the woman she would someday become.
I envy you, your youth. Every woman is still a dream, a thing that can__ exist. Even when you touch her, a creature too beautiful to be real or to cause real pain. It__ different for old men. We have more old wounds from these dreams.
