Summary
“So. You like baseball?”
Even now, the fact that those were the next words out of Robby’s mouth is almost unbelievable to him. Until this summer, Dennis doesn’t think he’d been asked that question his entire life and now, it’s come up twice—first, on the day Robby left, and now again on the day of Robby’s return. It struck him as some strange kismet, sort of like an incomplete thought finally circling back around. The answer, without question, was and is an easy no. Even if you didn’t factor a rural Nebraskan upbringing into the equation, for most of his life, he wasn’t exactly encouraged in that direction. Dennis, however, had a sense that he understood where Doctor Robby was going, and wanted very much for him to continue. Robby, therefore, did not receive the spiel about the Omaha Storm Chasers that Roberto with the dislocated elbow received on the Fourth of July. Instead, Dennis smiled and shrugged. “Sure, who doesn’t.”
“America’s pastime,” said Robby, pleased.
