It wasn't cologne nor any discernable odor, simply Tom. The smelled seem to emanate from his bridled euphoria and mixed with his glee so large that it...bordered on despair. In the minute or two you both stood there for all intense and purposes one being, it overcame you and permeated your own soul. Could this be Love?Yet it did not end there. The embrace ended yes but he was no less eager to see you and you saw something in his eyes, a spark of rapture perhaps before he uttered one of the most. "You didn't run?" Roberta openedhis mouth and shut it again. Jodie shook her head in wonder "I left thegate open for god knows how many minutes and you just... you just camein?" Roberta noticed she was carrying a long length of rope and a torch.He tried smiling up at her hopefully but Jodie looked back at him indisgust, unable to find the words."Why!? Why, you pathetic... spineless... I just can't believe you didn'teven try..." Jodie moved round to the door and bolted it shut, taking thekey. “So, he has taken us of his approved visitor list,” he said.“Yes, we are definitely persona non grata,” she said.“He is making a statement, I guess,” he said. “Wants you, us, to know how he is feeling without him actually using words to tell you, us.” She stared crying, something she’d been doing a lot of.“Yes, I guess so,” she said. “So, are we still going to be keeping to our plan to try and visit him even though he’s taken us off the visitor list?”“Yes, I think it’s the only tool we have in. Next."I thought she might have said soon or something like that, but she must have changed her mind. As I hung up, I had a feeling I wouldn't be hearing from her any time in the near future. Once again, no mention of me being "Stevie."I was a miserable S.O.B. the next day and it was all I could do not to bite the head off anyone who got in the way or gave me bad news. It was out of character for me and at the end of the day, when I had cooled down, I went around and apologized to everyone I had.
