Chapter 96: Make a Wish

Bobby pulled away from the curb in front of Maggie’s apartment.  He’d donned a pair of mirrored aviators when they’d gotten in the car.  He glanced at her and, seeing her watching him, he winked.  “We’ll just get this taken care of and be on our way.”

“Is this a work thing you have to do?” Maggie asked.

Bobby pursed his lips.  “Sort of, I guess.  There’s a family from Dallas and they have a son with leukemia.  They’ve been flown into town for the weekend to see all the sights and stuff.  I believe they’re going to tonight’s exhibition game.  Anyway, this is a kind of ‘meet and greet’ out at the stadium. I’ll hang out with the kid for a while, toss a ball around.  It probably won’t take too long, I wouldn’t want to drag you to something that would take all day.”

Maggie frowned thoughtfully.  “Is this a ‘Make-A-Wish’ kind of thing?”
