The Galvanized Gimp (7)

   
   "The Galvanized Gimp (7)"
   
   At the local library, shuffling through the theology section, Dragic stumbled, like ghost-walking serendipity into his ex-wife, Kathy.  The twosome ignited with a synergy of shock, awe, and remembered love.  Kathy immediately began to tear up, and could not help but instinctively embrace the man that had left her, for as a Christian--she knew his pain; moreover, knew he was the image of God, so to speak.  Dragic had no tears, just felt the feeling of true love; next, Jude wheeled around the corner, into the theology aisle.

JUDE
Are you my Dad?

KATHY
Letting go of the embrace.  Yes Jude--he's your father.

DRAGIC
I made a mistake Kathy; I want to come home.

KATHY
I'd like nothing better.

JUDE
Smiling.  Me too Dad.
