"Yes, just give me a minute," I said.
"Can we take her along?" he added.
I paused remembering our first interchange:
"Can I have his hand in marriage?" she'd said.
"He's too young," I scoffed at the joke.
"Arranged marriages," she bantered.
And I rolled my eyes.
Then, the words of his dad came into my head:
"She's not tall enough," Dad warned his son. "You need someone at least 5 foot 8!"
Undaunted, she replied:
"There's always exceptions to the rule."
As his parents, we shook our heads.
He laughed, "She's a character."
We nodded: "You said it."
And so, we agreed to meet for a fishing trip.
As I drove them to the site, I asked:
"So, you want to fish?"
"Ew!" she squirmed at the mention of fish and bait.
She admitted: "I just wanted to come along."
He gave baited the hook and gave her the rod.
She caught a fish. He took it off.
She tried to trade rods.
He smiled at her touch...
Under the moon of
the Summer Solstice,
our Bassmaster
had his first date:
Now Guiding Girls.
Coincidentally, "she" is the gal from "She REIGNS".
