Now we’re at the reception following the scholarship recognition ceremony.
Ryan and I hightailed it to the coffee line as the food line led to wheat laden food. (Ryan is gluten free except for wheat that I grind–unprocessed/unheated wheat.) At the coffee bar, we chatted a bit between ourselves and then with a few others we knew. Out of nowhere, Ryan announced, “I’m going to talk with that girl.”
I reacted casually (?), “What girl?”
“THAT girl, in line.”
Wow! OK. I recognized her from elementary school. When Ryan was home schooled, she made the effort to talk with Ryan. Ryan always answered her questions, but never ventured to initiate his own line of conversation. Well, today he did. He held a conversation with her. They included me. I was impressed. It was not too long when they walked away. Without me.
Too cool!
