He laughed, though. “You heard me. You’re coming here for three months, and then returning for your girl. Heckler told us where she’s going to college. I need a future college degree guy in the club.”
I swallowed. “What degree?”
“We’ll get into that later. Go and break the news to your girl, and then get down here. Heckler’s got something to say to you.”
I was sure he did.
My uncle said thirty minutes, but he was going to have to wait.
I went and told Kess the news, and I didn’t leave on my bike until later in the day.
Much, much later.
