Honest Touch
Larry didn’t believe Charlie when he heard the news.
Larry had been a scientist as the cold war was gasping its last breath. He had known spies. There had been something cold in all of them. The secrets had frozen something in their eyes.
Larry didn’t believe the man with the warm green eyes and soft strong hands could be a spy. There was too much honesty in Colby’s touch, in the way he’d growled out ‘Lawrence.’
When it was proven Colby was a spy, just for us, Larry had to wonder if any of that touch had been true.
