The sun is shining. The air is humid. The town is blazing hot. People walked around in their bathing suits and carried water with them. Others ate ice cream. Everyone was finding their own way to keep cool.

They say watching the youngest member of the family playing baseball. He looked over at another game that was going on at the softball diamond. His mind wandered to a time when his best friend played softball as he played baseball before she left him. If they would have a game at the same time at the same place, they would always watch the other's from their own game when they got the chance. He got up and walked over to the diamond since he missed watching the sport.

"Bradin?" he heard.

He look towards the stands and saw Lacey. His eyes widened as she got up and ran up to him. There, she hugged him

"What are you doing here?" she asked pulling away.

"I live here now," he said, "I'm not going to say why just yet though. What are you doing here?"

"Our mother, Kay, and I live here now."

"You mean... she's here?" he asked trying not to smile

"She's playing in the game. She started to play softball again last year. She's pitching again, Brae. But, she has also changed."

"For the good?"

Lacey shook her head. "Stay and talk to her. They're in the last inning."

"She won't talk to me," he told her sadly, "Not after what we went through."

"It wasn't a mistake. She told me herself on the plane the day we left. Being the older sister, I had to see what was wrong."

She was targeted by her team after pitching a one hitter. Her team shook hands with the other and headed towards their bench. She gathered her stuff and began to walk towards Lacey. When she exited the bench, she saw Lacey talking to Him. She sighed and walked up to her sister and him.

"Hey," Lacey said hugging her sister, "Great game."

She nodded trying to avoid eye contact with him.

"Hi, Kay Mae," he said softly.

"Bradin," she said.

"Can we talk some time?" he asked her.

"No."

Kay walked away heading towards her car. Bradin sighed. He still loved her. He just wanted to show her somehow someway.
