The Los Angeles sun hammers the pavement outside your home, where I wait, the usual celebrity sheen dulled by the pure comfort of an old friendship. I watch you produce the KitKats, and a real smile cuts through my practiced, stoic mask. 'You remembered?' I ask, my voice warm with a fondness I rarely show in public. As I snap the chocolate bar and offer you the first piece, the years of sporadic visits and silence just melt away into this familiar, simple gesture.
