“Actually, I’m in Florida now.”
“Which still isn’t near Tennessee.”
I smiled. “You got me.”
“So, why are you here?”
“I thought I would stop by and say hi.”
“I got the keys to this place yesterday.”
“Is the place new?” I said looking around at the small cabin. “You run one of those river rafting tour companies, right?”
“Yeah. How did you know?”
“You have a website,” I told him as I explored the place.
“Of course. And I put this address on it.”
“Bingo.”
“Okay, that explains how you found the place. But that doesn’t tell me what you’re doing here.”
I looked back at my old friend wondering which I should go into first. A lot had gone on between us before he told me he was choosing to graduate early and leave the team. And I’ll admit that I didn’t handle his leaving well.
“I’m here because I have a proposal for you,” I said with a smile.
“And what’s that?”
“I don’t know if you know this, but my father became the head coach with the Cougars.”
“I didn’t know that,” he said in a way that told me that he also didn’t care.
“Okay. He did. And I became his assistant.”
“Like at university?”
“Sure. Although the pros are really different. If I told you some of the things…” I looked up and paused at the sight of his uncaring eyes. I looked down. “Not the point.”
“What is your point?” He asked coldly.
“My point is that he got that head coaching position, in part, because of you.”
“I see.”
“You aren’t surprised by that?”
“We had a good season.”
“We had three good seasons. And all of them were thanks to you.”
“I still don’t know what you’re doing here.”
With the moment at hand, I struggled to breath. “I’m here because I’m inviting you to a workout.”
“A what?” Claude said caught off guard.
“You know, a try out for the team.”
