“I guess it does make a difference,” he said, “having someone who really loves you. I never had that before.” Even their parents had doled out a strange kind of conditional love, based on accomplishments rather than who they were.
“I always loved you, Dix,” Mason said.
Dix couldn’t believe his ears. “You’ve never said that to me before.”
“I know. I think I’m gettin’ soft in my old age. Besides, Krysta’s shrinkin’ my head twenty-four hours a day.”
Dix thought that was a pretty good thing. If anybody needed full-time head-shrinking, it was Mason.
Dix glanced back in the direction the ladies had gone. “I have to say, I didn’t expect things to turn out like this. I thought you’d keep getting crazier ‘til I had to put you in a home.”
“And I thought you’d keep cattin’ around until you got old and lonely, and you married some gold-digger who stole your money and screwed around with younger versions of you behind your back.”
Neither of them laughed, since they knew they’d come dangerously close to living out those predictions.
The ladies appeared at the back of the room again, chatting as they made their way through the maze of tables.
“I think with these two by our sides, we can almost be like normal people,” Dix said.
“Almost,” Mason replied, as he stood and kissed Krysta “hello” again. “Almost.”
