“I’m flattered.” Chris was happy the feeling was mutual. “And I remember looking up in the stands at you and your friends.”
“But you were watching Josleen. You had a thing for her.”
Chris sat up. “I wasn’t looking at Josleen, I was looking at you. A couple of times I wanted to take you to a movie or something after the game.”
Corra grew silent again and looked around before responding. “Then why didn’t you ask?”
“Come on. You know Rollin would have broken my legs.” Chris leaned forward, resting his elbows on his thighs. “I wanted to ask you to my senior prom too, but I valued my life too much for that.”
“Rollin wouldn’t have hurt you.”
“Huh, on the football field Rollin’s a different man. One night after a game a bunch of us went to a party and maybe had a little too much to drink. I mentioned something about going out to his house looking for you. He jacked me up against a wall and told me if I ever so much as looked at you wrong he’d make me regret it.”
Corra smiled. “He said that?”
“Yeah. He was looking out for you. At that time I was sowing my wild oats, as they call it. So full of myself that I had to have everyone who wanted a piece of me. Rollin didn’t want you to get caught up in that.”
Corra kept smiling.
“But, then you hooked up with Eric.”
“Oh, we’re back to him. Whatever happened between you two?”
His dislike for Eric Hayden was not something he wanted to discuss with his ex-wife. “He started dating you.”
Practice died down so Chris stood up and held his hand out to Corra. “Come on, I have somewhere else I want to take you.”
