“I don’t know if I can live with this.” My voice is borderline hysterical.

“You’re going to have to find a way to. For Kam if nothing else. He wouldn’t want this for you. This guilt you’re carrying. You know he wouldn’t.”

“Yeah, well I’m not sure it really matters anymore.”

“Of course it does.” He takes a step toward me. “And I don’t care how much you say you hate me, I know you don’t. You need me,” he says, sliding the Dodgers hat from his head and gently placing it on mine. “I know you do because I need you the same way.” He forces a soft smile as he adjusts the hat on my head, stepping back to really look at me. “There. Looks much better on you.”

“Kane.” I reach up and run my hand along the frayed bill of the hat.

“Kam would want you to have it.”

“I’m sorry for what I said.” I let out a frustrated breath, finally able to get a small grasp on my emotions.

“Don’t be.” He reaches over and takes my hand, giving it a gentle squeeze. “Come on, I’ll drive you home.”
