He slid in so easily, but it actually hurt, he stretched me so wide and pushed in so deep. Friday I went into town again, and he met me after he got ...ff work. Five minutes at the library. We just talked and he made faces at me, and I giggled and guffawed. He makes me feel alive, and I feel like I need the escape lately. He’s my only escape anymore, but I still talk to other people. Last night, after telling him in a text that I wouldn’t look for anybody else while he was sleeping, I let a guy. Matt had been charged with three errors that lead to four unearned runs, and we were in a five-run hole.It turned out to be too much to overcome. I doubled and Mo drove me in, but our clutch hitting was still largely absent. It went in the books as my first loss of the spring. Afterward, I stopped by Coach's office to let him know about my upcoming trip to Charlottesville."You realize we have a league game on Saturday," he said."Yeah, I know. But Tommy's hitting pretty good, so he can catch and. ‘Helping you with what, my friend?’ ‘You helped bring me out of stasis. A part of me was worried when I had the procedure done that I might never wake up. I just wanted to say that I appreciate your efforts, Dr. Weller.’ ‘You’re welcome. And you can call me Nancy when were together like this.’ She smiled. ‘Thank you . . . Nancy.’ ‘I just wish I could figure out a way to make a vaccine to the virus. We came pretty close a few times, but to no avail.’ ‘You’re too hard on yourself, Nancy,’. Trust me on that, Signor Anton Mancini,” Vittoria assured me with a steamy French kiss now.“Vittoria Mancini has a nice ring to it, no doubt of that. But you’re sure that you’re fine with marriage to a lecherous American?” I teased her a bit now.“Si, mio amore! You’re no more lecherous than Italian men, trust me, and if I can handle that with them, I can with you as well. There’s nothing wrong with lechery, as long as you’re honest and don’t neglect any of your lovers, of course,” Vittoria.
