Summary: Dickie walks into the dining room, sees the Apple Pie left on the table and suddenly he’s younger, fresh out of high school and a harbinger of ruined dreams. He remembers standing in his ma’s dining room, staring at the mess on the floor, Coover crying in the corner. He remembers hours later the news his mama dropped on him. The memories wash over Dickie and stick, sap from a tree that won’t come off his fingers without scrubbing them red and raw.
Notes: The summary I was working from is Sins of the Soul by Eve Silver. This is essentially my pet Justified rarepair.
