Hoodie

"Who's hoodie are you wearing?" Eugene looks Violet in the eye and asks the one question she isn't expecting. She knew the answer. Eugene knew the answer too. He just wanted her to say it. She knew why too.

Violet begins to cry. "It's his, and yes, before you even ask, yes. I still love him, but I also can't stop feeling hurt. I just want it to stop. I didn't even know I could hate someone and still love them at the same time, but I can, and it hurts so much."

She fell into the big Russian's chest hugging him because he was the only human who would let her, in this moment, just cry and not have any other expectations.

No matter what crimes this man may have committed in his past, during this moment, he was patient and kind, and understanding, in all the ways that Charlotte wanted to be with her the other day when she called. Violet couldn't open up to her though, not like this.

"I can see how much he hurt you, and it's a shame, and you look cute in this hoodie. Was it his favorite?" Eugene asked.

"Yeah." Violet responded.

"Good. He doesn't seem to deserve it, or you." He said with a smile.

"How can a killer be so sweet?" She asks it out loud by accident. He still responds , but only with a shrug and a smile.

They continue to hang out that night. It's like Violet knew she would never see him again, and just wants to be in his presence. Eugene took her back to his motel room. She didn't know why, but she trusts him enough not to take advantage of her. He was big enough that if he wanted to, he could; but that wasn't his way.

What was his way, was to drink vodka, chain smoke and tell horrible dead baby jokes that made her cringe and disgusting dirty jokes that made her blush. He keeps her up until dawn, laughing, smoking and drinking as if they had been best friends for years.

Although, at 3am, they discuss payment. He would need one bitcoin for expenses during the stake out; but he would need 10 more for the job in question. She would have just over 20 left to leave town and start a new life.
