““I love you.” The words come out almost in a panic, as if there’s no time. As if he’s about to walk into Eden again, and I’ve got to say it before he disappears behind the door. “I love you too.” Jimmy’ response startles me back to the room, the tobacco tin forgotten in my hand. I close it and set it on the counter, afraid of whatever drug it is inside that has me hallucinating. “I must be losing my mind,” I say, shaking my head. “I thought I just heard you say that you loved me.” “I did,” Jimmy replies. “You did?” “Of course. You said it to me first. It woulda been rude to leave ya hangin’ there, wouldn’t it?””
