    ... Outside that room, it was never talked about.

I heard from the grapevine, actually from Cathy, that he met with some trouble. One of the 'size queen wives' that he seduced was married to a Navy Seal. He didn't take kindly to being a cuckold, especially in his bed. Ryan lived thanks to the wife calling the cops and talking her husband down from the ledge. No one knew I had paid for a PI to keep tabs on him. I figured it was a good investment. At first, it was trust and verify, but it got boring quickly. Mel was true to her word. I found out there is an Irish code. I got a bit of revenge for tipping that husband off, but it still felt shitty. After that, it was all a dark memory for me. There would always be damage, but I had a plan for that.

What I should have planned for was Mel. Therapy, clean time and the rigors of communicating honestly meant I could never really leave my demons locked away forever. She became a formidable partner. She killed it going back to school, and now she's unstoppable. That is a story for another day. Let's just say ...
    ... we were never dull.

We would drive by the loft when on the occasions we went downtown for live music or to visit Mike and Charity. We discovered it was being demolished on one trip, making way for another addition to condo town. We never knew what happened to JJ and her Loft Lesbians. I know, terrible name. I should never have created it. I always hoped they found a way beyond the drugs. But that was their journey.

We knew how much we owed Mike and Charity as the months went by. They got pregnant and had a son they named Robert, Charity's Dad's name, but the biker boys called him Chance, which stuck. Go figure. Mel and Charity never stopped being close friends. They came to our country place a lot. We just had gratitude for the help they gave us.

Years later, Mel got down on her knees in a restaurant and proposed to me. I can't tell you how beautiful and courageous she was. I said yes. What could you do in front of an audience like that? Against all odds, our age-defying connection had not only survived, but it had also thrived.
