White Lines

It’s a love/hate thing now, the two of them. They get strung out on each other, just like they get strung out on the drugs. Sometimes they don’t see each other for days or weeks, but she always comes back. And he’s always waiting. He loves her because she needs it, and she loves him because he has it. But he hates her for keeping him tied to the business, and she hates him for getting her hooked.
