Page 81 of The Path To Us

“Nice to meet you, Lindley.”

“You, too, Tyson.”

Neither seem to want to part but Beau doesn’t have a problem helping them do so. He pushes Tyson along and out the door, calling for Zoey to follow him and letting me know that they’ll pick up some sandwiches for lunch and see us at my place.

As soon as everyone is gone, Lindley turns to me. “Do you know who that is?”

“Uh, yeah. I introduced you, remember?”

“No, I mean. That’s Tyson Davis!”

“I know.”

“THE Tyson Davis, Addy! How could you not tell me you knew him?”

I shrug. “I don’t know. It was a long time ago. I never really think much of it, I guess. You mean, because he was in the major leagues?”

“Yes! Oh my gosh. I just met Tyson Davis and didn’t think to get an autograph or picture. My son is gonna kill me.”

“Just to say… the way Tyson was looking at you just now? I don’t think that’s the last time you’ll see him,” I singsong.

“Shut. Up. You are such a liar! He wasn’t looking at me.”

“Whatever you say.”

I drop the subject but the dreamy look in her eyes tells me she won’t be forgetting that meeting anytime soon.
