Flipping to the front, I caught Aiden's gaze and offered a sympathetic smile.Skittles?Please.I dumped some into his open palm, then picked out the green ones. Aiden grinned at me.You know I don't like the green ones?Shrugging, I popped them in my mouth. The few times I've seen you eat them, you leave the green ones behind.Deacon popped his head between our seats.That's true love right there.That it is.Aiden's gaze flicked to the road. I flushed like a little schoolgirl and focused on the remaining pieces of candy until Deacon drifted back into his seat. I handed all the red ones to Aiden.

In a lighthearted moment, the narrator interacts with Aiden, sharing a playful exchange while on a car ride. They indulge in Skittles, a favorite candy, and the narrator offers Aiden some while teasingly picking out the green ones, which he dislikes. Their banter reveals a level of intimacy and understanding, deepening their connection and adding a layer of charm to their relationship.

As Aiden’s eyes return to the road, the narrator feels a rush of emotions, almost shy in Aiden's presence. Deacon jumps in with a humorous comment about their affection for each other, which adds to the playful atmosphere. The moment encapsulates a mixture of sweetness and camaraderie as they continue to bond over simple pleasures like candy.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
