The memory of seeing him for the first time after his arrest still
lingered in my mind.
Denied bail.
The judge’s words
clanged in my head. Painfully long weeks passed before I could
finally visit him. He was dressed in a jumpsuit, his once-shaggy
brown hair now unkempt, and his prominent cheekbones sunken. His
diminished muscles reminded me of the burden he carried. His eyes
bore dark circles, mirroring the torment he was still enduring. He
appeared pitiful and scared as if he had aged significantly
overnight.
With a quiver in his voice and fear etched in his eyes, he
mustered the words: "Elle, I didn't do it..."
His trembling sincerity wrapped around my heart, squeezing a
painful sob from my throat. "Elle," he whispered again, "I
need you." And I knew, in that desperate plea, there was more
than fear… there was love.
I remembered a time before the jumpsuits, a time when Kobe would
look at me, his eyes shining with a loving warmth. "You’re my
rock, Elle," he used to say, holding me close. "Without
you, I'd be lost." I swallowed it down, the bitter taste of
despair lingering on my tongue. His eyes, now devoid of hope, were
once vibrant and full of life. Now they just mirrored the cold, grey
walls surrounding him. The Kobe I knew seemed to fade with each
passing year, replaced by this shell of a man, accused of a crime he
didn't commit."
