"Hey," he says, in turn - and then heaves a big sigh and comes to put an arm around her. It's not a hug, but it's an invitation to one. How many times hadn't he wanted that from anyone in the gang? How many times had he apologized? Said I been a bad man, and my life is gonna have a bad end, and I deserve it - and wanted someone to say I forgive you, Arthur. You made mistakes, and God won't forgive you, but I do.

He can't just get back the trust she'd squandered by doing something so stupid, so soon after their agreement. But he can show her forgiveness. And he can show her love.

"How'd you get that picture onto the paper, huh?"
