Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending. (Maria Robinson)

Christian came while I was walking on the beach with Tommy. He wasn't impressed.

“What was that?” he accused.

“Nothing, we were just talking.”

“Whatever.” Christian actually started to storm away, leaving me standing alone like a fool in the middle of the tea garden.

I grabbed his arm and told him to wait.

“Nothing is ever going to change, is it? You're always going to be a drug dealer and you're always going to be a drug addict.”

“Christian, wait.”

“You can say my name but you'll never be a Christian.”
