Carson: Wow . . . I don’t think I’ve ever heard anything so profound before.
Milly: A regular old Hemingway over here.
Carson: With such inspirational words, they might slap your quote up on a wall with your name beside it, something players pat before every game.
Milly: I could see it happening.
Carson: Are you going to watch online today?
Milly: I have a game with my little league team, or else I’d consider it. Watching the animated play-by-play is torturous. I don’t know why they can’t livestream the games.
Carson: The boys have a game today? That’s cool. Wish them luck for me.
Milly: Sure, I’ll let them know Carson Stone wishes them luck. They’ll all probably drop dead right before the game.
Carson: I wish my schedule didn’t conflict with theirs, or else I’d be there practicing with them. We do have the same coach after all.
Milly: Yeah and oddly, they listen better.
Carson: Bullshit. When have I ever given you any sass?
Milly: I can see it in your eyes.
Carson: What you’re seeing is pure appreciation. Did you know that, Milly? I appreciate you.
Milly: Well, prove it today with some hits. Good luck, Stone.
Carson: Thanks, Coach.
Carson: Two for three today with a triple.
Milly: I saw online. That’s so great.
Carson: Thought I was going to pull my groin running. I was really booking it.
Milly: And here you were talking to me about the importance of stretching for dipping a chip. Same goes for your legs, Stone.
Carson: The adrenaline got to me and my brain was telling my legs to move faster than they could.
Milly: But you didn’t pull it, did you?
Carson: No, thankfully. But I do have a bag of ice on my crotch.
Milly: Can’t read that enough.
Carson: Slightly terrified of getting a penis popsicle.
Milly: Just defrost it with your hand.
Carson: I literally just barked out in laughter, and now every one of my teammates it staring at me.
Milly: At least they’ll be staring at you for laughing like a crazy person, rather than having a column of ice poking out of your pants.
Carson: What have you done with my coach?
Milly: Same girl, same coach. You’re just getting to see the side my brothers do.
Carson: I like it.
Carson: Gunner snored last night. I chucked pillows at him at least three times. Claims it’s a head cold.
Milly: Were you sharing a bed?
Carson: He wishes. We shared a room. Normally I share with Jason but for some stupid reason, Coach switched it up on us. I wasn’t equipped to be sleeping with a snorer.
Milly: I’ve slept in a hotel bathroom tub once because all three of my brothers and my dad were snoring. Let’s just say my night was miserable. But, the moments on the road with them I wouldn’t trade for anything.
Carson: I wish I had moments like those with my dad. He couldn’t make it to a lot of games. Did you have a good night’s sleep?
Milly: Had to deal with some RA drama last night. Two girls were fighting over the same guy. It was stupid, but I caught up on some sleep. I forgot to ask, how was the glove?
Carson: Amazing. Thank you so much.
Milly: Sure. Anytime. I’m still really sorry I was late.
Carson: Milly, you were right on time. Thank you.
Carson: I’m exhausted.
Milly: Twenty-four innings in two games will do that to you.
Carson: At least we pulled out the win for both.
Milly: Three for four in one game, two for five in the other with five RBIs. I’m impressed, Stone.
Carson: Impressing my coach means a whole lot to me. Hitting the showers.
Carson: Are you up?
Milly: Yeah, are you still on the bus?
Carson: It’s the never-ending drive. We just finished watching a movie.
Milly: What movie?
Carson: Do you really want to know?
Milly: I kind of do.
Carson: Legally Blonde.
Milly: You are such a liar.
Carson: Swear on my bat. The guys have a thing for Reese Witherspoon. On the way to Indiana, we watched Sweet Home Alabama.
Milly: I am utterly shocked. I thought you would be watching movies like The Avengers, or something like that.
Carson: We watch those too, but it was a Reese weekend.
Milly: The secrets behind Brentwood baseball. Any other tidbits you might want to share that will make me laugh?
Carson: Gunner always wears pink briefs when he pitches. He washed a white load with a red shirt to make them pink. They’re his lucky charm.
Milly: LOL.
Carson: Jason has a lucky ribbon he ties in his hair before he puts his catcher’s helmet
