“Tomorrow,” I confirmed and then showed him out.
After watching him walk to his car and drive off, I returned to the kitchen to find Momma there. I was expecting her to make a big deal about everything, but she didn’t.
“He seemed nice.”
“He has his moments.”
“You’re smiling,” she pointed out.
“Am I?”
“You are,” she said with a smile. “Is this about the football or him?”

The next morning I headed into the office knowing Titus would be there. We still had a few things to do to prepare our new place before the season started and not having class on Mondays, he had agreed to help.
“It was fun last night,” I told him as we installed the glass case for our t-shirts.
“It was! And you know you’ve become a legend, right? We didn’t even think it was possible to beat Quin at a game. You might have shaken his entire worldview.”

“Are you doing it?” Titus asked excitedly.
“I don’t know. I have responsibilities here… with you.”
“Are you talking about this place?”
“Yeah.”
“Lou and I can handle it while you’re gone,” he said with a smile. “He’s already been talking about ways he can be involved with the business. I think he’s trying to get me to invite him to live with me.”
“Oh, that’s right. He’s graduating this spring.”
“Yeah,” Titus said nervously.
