Patti’s phrase—there is n link—was a hinge between possibility and harm. I left Texas holding that hinge like a hot coal. I didn’t know if the ember would smolder into anything beyond memory; perhaps it would cool to a lesson in how fragile desire can be when it crosses the lines we’ve all drawn. Or perhaps it would teach me how to be kinder, how to cradle someone else’s life without letting my need scorch it.
