no part of the dream

Adam is so in love. It shines from his eyes like stars. He wears it on the pulse of his wrists and in his hair, it beams from the cherry curve of lips when he smiles.

Too bad Dick ... Don ... (whoever he has become in the intervening years) too bad he doesn't smile back. Adam is in love and he is alone, lonely, and he wishes that his brother could see the gleam of hero worship that never faded from his little brother's eyes.

Yes, sadly, Adam is in love and it’s a smear across the collar of Don’s starched shirt in the wrong shade of lipstick. One of many dirty little secrets bought and paid for with a bundle of bills, stacked and counted and left on the table beside the bed
