THE WORD’S FROM THE HUNTER’S MOUTH IMPLIED NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH. Matt could tell the other believed it, lived and breathed it. He’d been in that darkness not too long ago himself — disgusted with humanity, at the world, at God. Angry at his own battered soul. Dean may say the words with sarcasm and that familiar hint of humor, but, through the ears of a lawyer, Matt could detect the underlying agony of it all. Could hear it in the other’s steady heart. “Yeah, I....” He straightens on the stool he’s sitting on, fingers smoothing over the glass of whiskey in his hand. “I used to think that too. Hell, sometimes I still do.” His head inclines toward Dean, giving the impression of looking him in the eyes instead of the ever vacant and aimless expression hidden behind crimson glasses. “Crocs or no crocs, the world can still be a... a pretty amazing place if you let it.”
LONG FINGERS CURL INTO THE SHOULDER OF THE MAN SITTING AT HIS SIDE, mouth softening into something like a smile. “Yeah, it’s got it’s flaws. People can hurt you. Sometimes they leave. Sometimes it seems like the world is against you. But I promise you, buddy... There is more out there than pain. You just gotta hold on for those rare moments that make it all worth it.” Damn, it’s never easy, but sometimes — just sometimes — he comes across something that keeps the darkness in him at bay. “You’re a good man, Dean, and the world’s a little better with you in it. ”
