“Luca what is the matter with you?”“Kay come here. Please sit.”Kay was a little worried by the sound of his voice.“What’s wrong?”“Noth...ng. I need to talk to you.”“Okay.” She swallowed hard. She went and sat on the couch. He sat next to her. He picked up her hands and held them in his.“Now.” He started.“Are you leaving?”“No, I’m not leaving.” He smiled.“Are you having problems from your injuries?”“No.”“Are you sick?”“Kay please.”“Sorry, I just worry.”“Don’t worry. What I want to say will maybe. I’ve come to think the foreman shouldn’t live and eat with the men. I want you to stay in the house, there’s a room I bin storin’ stuff in that you can use. It’s right next to the office and the only door is on the outside of the house. You can eat with me and we can do our plannin’ after dinner. Just get settled in this afternoon and I’ll grab you when our cook, Gramps, serves dessert. Wear some old clothes, ha ha!’ I guess he thought that was funny. Actually it was, kinda. We mounted up and. He went out to the field and met the coach and told him he would be sitting out today. We all headed out in our uniforms and the game begun. In the first 3 minutes, I was injured. There was something major wrong with my foot. The coach told Tommy to take me to the old locker room and get my stuff and take me to the new locker room. He told him to help me get undressed and get my school clothes on and for us to stay there until my parents came. Tommy lived near the school, so he could walk to. Lost at sea. I knew one thing though, I wouldn't be accompanying her onany more shopping trips at any time in the near future. What was shetrying to do to me, I wondered honestly?Did I like the way I looked? Yes I did, I'd have to admit honestly but Ifelt like Mom was pushing me somewhere I'd never intended to go. We madeour way home and Mom talked animatedly about the evening's events. "OhJoan. Thank you so much for accompanying me this evening! I had such awonderful time. I hope you did too?".
