I love her. It does not matter, I just have to be close to her. I'll never hurt you, Culburn and I'll never stop loving you, Girl. Please, Girl. Pleas...."He was close to tears."It will be alright, Tommy-boy." She slid closer and held him.Being around Girl for a length of time one cried. It was part of the package. She cried. I cried. Now, Tommy cried. Plus he'd been thru the Hell of a suicide attempt so he was susceptible from the get-go."No, little Tommy, don't cry, your Katie-Girl is here.".
