When Joji sees me, she leaves the yoga session and walks over.“What’s going on?”
“Clint sent me over to check in with you.Need me to do anything?”
“He sent you ...here?”Her brow furrows.
“On account of his injured foot.He hurt it in a near miss with an angry bull.”
She’ll care that Clint is hurt, and he won’t tell her.
I watch Jasmine as she rolls out her mat, then meet Joji’s gaze.“And he said you might need someone to till the ground for a spring garden or a fall garden.Whichever.I volunteer.”
“What a surprise.When are you going to ask her out?”
That’s a question I haven’t figured out the answer to.“When the time is right.”
First, I have to see if she’s interested.Being around her will help.
“Come by next Wednesday, and I’ll show you what I want done.Yoga starts at 7.Want to come at 6:45?”
“I’ll be here.”I sneak another look at Jasmine.“Sure you don’t need me to do anything tonight?”
“Chores are all done.But thanks for stopping by.You can join us for yoga if you’d like.”Now Joji’s teasing me.
“Tempting, but I’m pretty sure my jeans won’t let me bend like that.”I nod toward Jasmine who looks folded in half.
“I don’t bend like that.”Joji pats my arm.“I need to get back over there, but first please tell me, is Clint okay?”
“I think so.But he was limping quite a bit.”I’m curious about what’s happening with Clint and Joji, but I’m not going to ask.
The last thing I want to do is upset Joji because, right now, she’s my access to Jasmine.
“Thanks for letting me know.”She walks back to the others, and I wait, hoping that Jasmine will look this way.
But she’s talking to the ladies, starting class.Just as I’m about to walk away, she glances my way.I wink and tip my hat.
The smile I get in return will carry me until next week.
